BACKSTREET BOYS - I WANT IT THAT WAY
Yeah-Eh-Eh
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
Tell Me Why, Ain't Nothing 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"
Am I (Am I, Am I), Your Fire?
Your One, Desire?
Yes I Know, It's Too Late
But I Want It That Way
Tell Me Why, Ain't Nothing 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"
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 Nothing But A Heartache
(Eh-Eh) Ain't Nothing But A Mistake (Don't Wanna Hear You Say)
I Never Wanna Hear You Say (Oh Yeah)
"I Want It That Way"
Tell Me Why, Ain't Nothing But A Heartache
Tell Me Why, Ain't Nothing 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 Nothing But A Heartache
Ain't Nothing But A Mistake
Tell Me Why, I Never Wanna Hear You Say (I Don't Wanna Hear You Say)
"I Want It That Way," 'Cause I Want It That Way
