Song lyrics
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

u know if u just look at the song name, w/o having heard the song and seen the lyrics, it sounds like a very man controlling his g/f or wife or w/e song....

This is one of those songs that I have memorized, but I pretend that I don't know all the words and that I never liked The Backstreet Boys at one point

Hahahahahahaha I remeber when I was like 9 tryin to dance to this song at a talent show with a couple of my friends!!! Hahaha! And I used to have all of these backstreet boy posters up on my wall, and one day I came home from school and ripped them down because I found out Nick Carter had a girlfriend!!! AGHAHAHA How funny! O wow great memories in elementary! I didn't think people would post ANYTHING on this page! I thought either it was empty, or people wrote bad things on it! Ha guess I was wrong.

I used to listen to their music EVERYWHERE!! And do any of you guys remember "Hit-Clips" ?? Well Yeah I had them and I had the Backstreet Boys Clip! Lol. I always used to get in trouble with my parents for listening to it while eating at the dinner table, but all I said was, "JUST ONE MORE TIME!" or I acted like I didnt hear them at all. Hahaha. Aawww Yes back then I was sooo stubborn. Now I'm just a bitch! Lol. Just kidding.

Well if I ever listen to any of their stuff again I swear I will sing alog. Haha. I know all the words to like every song. My family got me their first CD (the No Strings Attached one) like over and over again because I'd leave it somewhere or lose it or break it and I'd cry. Then "The New Millenium" came out, and same thing happened with that! I lost it, left it somewhere, or broke it. I cried until they bought me a new one I'm such a little mooch. Haha.

Well when I was little, when people would say something bad about the Backstreet boys after I said something good I would say, "I LOVE THE BACKSTREET BOYS! Why don't you!?"

NOW if someone said something bad about them after I said something good, I would say, "I WAS KIDDING!!!" But really I kind of miss loving them.. as weird as it sounds. Like I used to love N'Sync Hahahahahahaa. Yeah It's funny now, but I used to claim I was "In Love with Lance Bass" Haha. O gees being little was fun! Well I think I have written to much for the Backstreet Boy comments (lol) , so later... <3

Dude, Backstreet Boys are flippin gaywads! And so r their songs. There's this girl in my grade that likes them and N*Sync (or whatever) and she is like the least liked person in the whole school. She is bi I think. EW! But NE way, I remember the old days when every 1 liked the BST and we were all in luv wit Aaron and Nick Carter. But now they r just, faggy.
