The one desire

Believe when I say

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never want to hear you say

I want it that way

Your one desire

But I want it that way

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I want it that way

From the way that it used to be Yeah

No matter the distance
