Backstreet Boys



I Want it that Way (Original Version)

You're my first thought everyday

And I want it that way



Nick: My life is for you

And I adore you

I love you more everyday

And I want it that way



CHORUS:

Nick: No goodbyes

All: Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Nick: No more lies

All: Ain't nothin' but a mistake, that is why

Nick: I love it when I hear you say

All: I want it that way



AJ: My heart is on fire

(It's) A strong desire

Yes I know, it's too late

But I want it that way



AJ: No goodbyes

All: Ain't nothin' but a heartache

AJ: No more lies

All: Ain't nothin' but a mistake

All: That is why

AJ: I love it when I hear you say

All: I want it that way



Kevin: I gave you my heart baby right from the start

And that's the way it will always be (Yeah)

No matter the distance, I want you to know

That deep down inside of me...



Howie: You are, my fire

The one desire

You are



All: You are

You are

You are



Nick: Don't wanna hear you say

All: Ain't nothin' but a heartache

All: Ain't nothin' but a mistake

(Nick: I wanna hear you say)

All: I love it when I hear you say

(Nick: oh yeah)

All: You want it that way



Repeat chorus twice



And I want it that way
