Even in my heart I see
That you're not being true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
That nothing's like it used to be

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
You better quit playin' games with my heart

Quit playin' games with my heart
(Before you tear us apart)
My heart
(Quit playin' games with my heart)

I should've known from the start
(You know you've gotta stop)
With my heart
(You're tearin' us apart)
My heart (na na na na na na)
My heart

Yeah

You are
You are
My fire
The one
The one
Desire
Believe when I say
"I want it that way"

But we
But we
Are two worlds apart
Apart
I can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
So tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
"I want it that way"

"Come on, Helene"

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Don't wanna hear you say
I never wanna hear you say (oh yeah)
"I want it that way"
'Cause I want it that way

I may run and hide
When you're screamin' my name, alright (come on, now)
But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
'Cause all of our time spent in flashes of light

All you people, can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality?
Every time we're down
You can make it right
That makes you larger
That makes you larger than life

Everybody (come on, sing it, Germany)
Rock your body (woo! what!)
Everybody
Rock your body right (come on)
Backstreet's back, alright (yeah, yeah-yeah, oh oh)

Now throw your hands up in the air
Wave 'em around like you just don't care
If you wanna party, let me hear you yell
Say, yeah
'Cause we got it goin' on again (yeah, yeah)

Am I original? (yeah)
Am I the only one? (yeah)
Am I sexual? (oh yes, yeah)
Am I everything you need?
You better rock your body now (yeah)

Everybody (yeah)
Rock your body (yeah)
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back

(Everybody)
Everybody (yeah)
Rock your body (yeah)
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back, alright
