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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS - repeat

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 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

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

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

Hmmm...WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS SONG MEAN?!!?? I am in awe of the stupidity of this song and the great reaction it gets from the fans. "I never want to hear you say 'I want it that way', Cause I want it that way"? That makes absolutely no sense. I've heard some cheesy pop lyrics in my day ("Don't you know I still believe, that you will be here...and give me a sign--Hit me baby one more time...") but this by far surpasses them all. I can't even begin to tell you how much this song irritates me. The melody is fantastic. The harmonies are good, but the lyrics suck! When I first heard the song on the radio I was thinking "Wow, I like this as much as "I Drive Myself Crazy"--Until I listened to the lyrics. Did they write this themselves? I hope not.

Now onto the video. Oh where to begin. I gotta give it to them, the video is original. It's original, but dumb. Okay let us start with the "dancing", shall we? We shall.

• Dancing: No, no, no, no, no! Who choreographed this crap? Most of the time they just stood there, bouncing up and down on their toes. Then they pull the swinging arm thing. They look like apes! Especially Howie! I'm so disappointed. If you're going to dance in a video, and I don't recommend it, do it well. Oh, and did you see Nick during one "Tell me why?" scene? He's to the far right of the screen and does this cheesy little "point to myself, shrug my shoulders" thing with both hands. I can't go on, I just can't.

• Fans: What up wit'da fans? Umm, okay. Are you trying to show how many more fans you have then *N Sync? They were all screaming girls, like I need more, and they had on Backstreet Boys tour shirts. No. One chick had on a Britney-esque white sweater that came up to her chest. No.

• What the Hell? What's with the airplane? They didn't do anything with it! It just said "Backstreet Boys" on it. Oh, that's discreet. Fly into Los Angeles with your name on the plane, see what happens.

• A.J.: Once again, baby, I'm sorry. You're tre` cool and all, but the whole "I'm a bad ass..." is not working out. You're in a band called the "Backstreet Boys". I didn't work for Donnie, and it doesn't work for you. Oh, and lose the hat, okay?

• Nick: Umm, no.

• Kevin: Hey, he does sing! Love the Harmony with A.J. Baby, keep'um comin'.

• If it would have been the "Backstreet's Back" video--which I love--that would have been understandable, as that song is as pointless as "Here We Go". Except "Here We Go" has harmonies, GOOD dancing, a nice bass line, a bridge...

  Can't wait to see the next one!
