Backstreet Boys - 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 nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to 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 want to 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 want to hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't want to hear you say)
I never want to hear you say
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 want to 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 want to hear you say
(Never want to hear you say it)
I want it that way
'Cause I want it that way

Authored by Max Martin and Andreas Carlsson, “I Want It That Way” (1999) proves the importance of the melody when writing a hit song. Indeed, the lyrics do not make much sense, but they include several simple rhymes that support the music.

“You are my fire
The one desire
…
Tell me why
Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain’t norhin’ but a mistake”

Andreas Carlsson explained : “When Max [Martin] came up with the original idea for the song, it already had the line ‘you are my fire, the one desire.’ We tried a million different variations on the second verse, and finally we had to go back to what was sounding great, ‘you are my fire, the one desire.’ And then we changed it to ‘am I your fire, your one desire, ’ WHICH MADE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE IN COMBINATION WITH THE CHORUS - BUT EVERYBODY LOVED IT!”

This piece garnered three nominations at the 2000 Grammy Awards : Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals❕

WORTH MENTIONING… The five Backstreet Boys came together virtually to perform this from their homes as part of the March 29, 2020 “Living Room Concert For America.” 💙🔥💙
