[Intro: AJ] Yeah-eh-eh [Verse 1: Brian] You are my fire The one desire Believe when I say I want it that way [Verse 2: Nick] But we are two worlds apart Can't reach to your heart When you say That I want it that way [Chorus: Nick & All] Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothing but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say I want it that way [Verse 3: AJ, AJ & Brian] Am I your fire? Your one desire Yes, I know it's too late But I want it that way [Chorus: AJ, All & Brian] 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 [Bridge: Kevin, Kevin & AJ] Now I can see that we're fallin' 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 [Verse 4: Howie, Nick & All] You are my fire The one desire You are (You are, you are, you are) Don't wanna hear you [Break: All & Nick] Ain't nothin' but a heartache (Say, hey, yeah) 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 [Chorus: Brian, All, Nick & AJ] 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 (Never wanna hear you say, yeah) I want it that way [Outro: AJ] 'Cause I want it that way
