Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm yours completely
I feel so deeply
You're my first thought every day
And I want it that way
[Verse 2]
My life is for you
And I adore you
I love you more everyday
And I want it that way
[Chorus]
No goodbyes
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
No more lies
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
That is why
I love it when I hear you say
I want it that way
[Verse 3]
My heart is on fire
Such a strong desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way
[Chorus]
No goodbyes
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
No more lies
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
That is why
I love it when I hear you say
I want it that way
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
You are my fire
The one desire
You are, you are, you are, you are
Don't wanna hear you say...
[Chorus]
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake (I wanna hear you say)
I love it when I hear you say (Oh, yeah)
You want it that way
[Chorus]
No goodbyes
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
No more lies
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
That is why
I love it when I hear you say (I wanna hear you say)
I want it that way
No goodbyes
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
No more lies
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
That is why
I love it when I hear you say (Love it when I hear you say)
I want it that way
[Outro]
'Cause I want it that way
