I Want It That Way - The Petersens (LIVE)

One of the first times I heard Emmett perform was in a small house concert with maybe 15 people in attendance. He sang "I Want It That Way" and we were blown away with his awesome arrangement and style. We can't sing this man's praises enough and are so thankful he's part of the band (and basically family).

►LYRICS - I Want It That Way
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
That I want it that way

When 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 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 nothin' but a heartache)
Tell me why
(Ain't nothin' 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)

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
I want it that way [x2]

Cause I want it that way
