Did I just hear someone choose Backstreet Boys over Barbra Streisand ? How can I let such a request go unanswered ? I am de-lighted to present the classical music & profound lyrics.... And at the end of the song, there's even a quote from a dear friend of mine......<smile> Everyone, enjoy the BSB ! ------------------------- 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 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'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 Don't wanna hear you say Ain't nothin' but a heartache Ain't nothin' but a mistake I wanna hear you say I never wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna hear you say I want it that way Cause I want it that way ---------------------------- * "The amazing thing to me about this next "classic"....ahem....LOL....is the sheer complexity of the written thought at the lyrics stage...... I counted....well, as best I could without vomiting LOL....the words.....and came up with 266 words in this song.....and of the 266, 221 (83 percent if you're counting!) are one syllable words and the other 45 are two syllables..... None of them are any longer than that......one memorable sequence has more than 20 consecutive one syllable words...... I guess we should give them extra credit for clarity and simplicity of expression......Caution: the <above> may provoke a gag reflex! "
