Original Broadway Cast of & Juliet
I Want It That Way (Reprise)
[William]
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want Anne Hathaway

[Anne]
Tell me why

[William, spoken]
Because you've always been my greatest inspiration

[Anne]
Tell me why

[William, spoken]
Because I love you with so much of my heart, that none is left to protest

[Anne]
Tell me why

[William, spoken]
Because I can write endless plays, I can write plays for days, but there will never be another Anne Hathaway

[Anne, spoken]
Mhm
[Anne]
Now I can see that wе've fallen apart
From the way that it usеd to be, yeah

[William]
No matter the distance, I want you to know
That deep down inside of me

[Romeo and (Ensemble)]
You are my fire
The one desire
You are (You are, you are, you are)

[Juliet and (Ensemble)]
Don't wanna hear you say
(Ain't nothing but a heartache)
(Ain't nothing but a mistake)
Don't wanna hear you say
(I never wanna hear you say)

[Romeo]
I want it that way

[Anne and Ensemble]
Tell me why
[William and Ensemble]
Ain't nothing but a heartache

[Anne and Ensemble]
Tell me why

[William and Ensemble]
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why

[Anne and Ensemble]
I never wanna hear you say

[William and Ensemble]
I want it that way

[Juliet, spoken]
Let's just call this a first date. A new beginning for Juliet & Romeo

[Romeo, spoken]
Sorry, why is it "Juliet & Romeo" and not "Romeo & Juliet"?

[Juliet, spoken]
Ugh, isn't it obvious?

[Juliet]
'Cause I want it that way
