As you can clearly see this page is set up a little differently then the rest.  This is because "I Want It That Way" has TWO count them 2 versions.  There is the radio/album/video version, and then there is the BETTER version.

Of course that is my opinion, and well...once the midi starts playing you can be the judge of that yourself.

I Want It That Way
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 nothing but a heartache)
Tell me why
(Ain't nothing 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 its too late
But I want it that way

Tell me why
(Ain't nothing but a heartache)
Tell me why
(Ain't nothing 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
Don't wanna hear you

Ain't nothing but a heartache
Ain't nothing but a mistake
I wanna hear you say
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Tell me why
(ain't nothing but a heartache)
Tell me why
(Ain't nothing but a mistake)
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say
I want it that way

TELL ME WHY (ain't nothing but a heartache)
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say (never wanna hear you say)
I want it that way
'Cuz i want it that way

I Want it That Way (BSB Version Remix)
Yeah...yeah Yeah...yeah x1.5

I'm yours completely
I feel so deeply
You're my first thought everyday
And I want it that way

My life is for you
And I adore you
I love you more everyday
And I want it that way

No goodbyes
(Ain't nothing but a heartache)
No more lies
(ain't nothing but a mistake)
That is why
I love it when i hear you say
I want it that way

My heart is on fire
Such a strong desire
Yes I know, its's too late
But i want it that way

No goodbyes
(Ain't nothing but a heartache)
No more lies
(ain't nothing but a mistake)
That is why
I love it when i hear you say
I want it that way

I gave you my heart baby right from the start
That's the way it will always 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

Ain't nothing but a heartache
Ain't nothing but a mistake
I wanna hear you say
I love it when i hear you say
You want it that way

No goodbyes
(Ain't nothing but a heartache)
No more lies
(Ain't nothing but a mistake)
That is why
I love it when i hear you say
I wanna hear you say
I want it that way

NO GOODBYES (Ain't nothing but a heartache)
Ain't nothing but a mistake
That is why
I love it when i hear you say (Love it when i hear you say)
I want it that way
'Cuz I want it that way
