Yeah-he 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 [chorus:] (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 [chorus:] (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 (Aww, yeah) I want it that way [chorus:] (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 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 (I wanna hear you say) I want it that way 'Cause I want it that way
