Yeah


You are my fire

The one desire

Believe when I say

I want it that way


But we are two worlds apart

Can't reach to your heart

When you say

That I want it that way


Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way


Am I your fire?

Your one desire

Yes, I know it's too late

But I want it that way


Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way


Now I can see that we've fallen apart

From the way that it used to be, yeah

No matter the distance, I want you to know

That deep down inside of me


You are my fire

The one desire

You are (you are, you are, you are)


Don't wanna hear you say

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Ain't nothin' but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)

I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)

I want it that way


Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say (don't wanna hear you say)

I want it that way


Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say (don't wanna hear you say)

I want it that way


'Cause I want it that way
