you are
my fire
my 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
i want it that way

tell me why
ain't nothing but a heartache
ain't nothing but a mistake
tell me why i never wanna hear you say
i want it that way

am i
your fire
your one
desire
to know is too late
but i want it that way

tell me why
aint nothing but a heartache
aint nothing but a mistake
tell me why i never wanna hear you say
i want it that way

now i can see that we're falling apart
from the way that it used to be
no matter the distance i want you to know
that deep down inside of me

you are
my fire
the one
desire
you are
don't wanna hear you say

ain't nothing but a heartache
ain't nothing but a mistake
i never wanna hear you say
i want it that way

yes i want it that way

yes yes ya'll
and you dont stop
