Lyric discussion by Svendalina 

The Backstreet Boys, so Ive been told, never pass up an opportunity to sing their little lungs out.

This song originated in such a way, whilst ordering some burgers (and milkshakes) at their local Burger King.

One of the guys, oh, lets say the one with the....er...um....glasses...YES THATS it, was ordering for everyone and saw another persons order and sang "I want it THAT way"

He really LOVES his burgers, bless his soul, and pretty soon he got carried away and started getting all mushy and junk.

"You are, my fire"- a referencing to the 'flame broiling' "The one, desire, Believe, when I say I want it that way"

Apparently one of the other guys, oh lets say the one with the.....uh....goatee, didn't want it "that way" and they started to sing argue.

"Tell me why, Ain't nothin' but a heartache, Tell me why, Ain't nothin' but a mistake,"- "mistake" was originally "milkshake", turns out he was lactose intolerant"

"Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say, I want it that way "

Yeah, it almost broke up the band but good ol' Lou (Pearlman) was there to make things right (and eat up the leftovers). He changed a few words and the rest is music history.

And you thought they didn't write their own songs ::tsk::

Nicee sarcasm, way to warp the lyrics, but it is funny (:

LOL! You had me rolling in laughter. =))
