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 - repeat      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   I wanna hear you say   I never wanna hear you say   I want it that way      CHORUS - repeat
