The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
That I want it that way
But we are two worlds apart
I can't reach to your heart
When 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 wanna hear you say
That I want it that way
Am I your fire?
Your one desire
Yes I know that 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
That 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
Believe when I say
You are, You're the only one!
(Tell me why)
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
(Tell me why)
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Tell me why)
And I never wanna hear you say
That I want it that way
(Tell me why)
Don't wanna hear you say
(Tell me why)
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Tell me why)
I never wanna hear you say
That I want it that way
