I Want It That Way Lyrics By Max Martin and Andreas Carlsson

I Want It That Way is one of the most notorious melodies by the Backstreet Young Men, a pop vibe that characterized the last part of the 1990s and mid-2000s. Composed by Swedish lyricists Max Martin and Andreas Carlsson, the track was delivered on April 12, 1999, as the lead single from their third studio collection, Thousand Years. Known for its earnest stanzas and smart tune, the song explores subjects of friendship, longing, and miscommunication. With its ever-enduring charm and near and dear significance, “I Like It In That Capacity” transformed into a second hit, outmaneuvering frames in general and getting a dependable spot in famous music history.

I Want It That Way Lyrics

Yeah

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 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

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 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 (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

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

Cause I want it that way
