I Want It That Way by viking and kriss

Backstreet Boys cover by viking and kriss “I Want It That Way“ 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 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’re falling 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 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 (don’t 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 (never wanna hear you say) I want it that way ’Cause I want it that way Writer(s): Sandberg Martin Karl, Carlsson Andreas Mikael AZLyrics B Backstreet Boys Lyrics album: “Millennium“ (1999) The lyrics of this song don’t make much sense. Not only some critics said this, but also members of the band confessed that it is indeed so: e.g. Kevin Richardson explained in an interview, “Ultimately the song really doesn’t make much sense.“ One of the co-authors Andreas Carlsson also said that the song was a play with words. The music video for this song was nominated for four MTV Video Music Awards and won Viewer’s Choice award. British boy-band One Direction performed a live cover of this song during their “Take Me Home Tour“ at a Stockholm concert in 2013.
