My adult daughter loves The Backstreet Boys. So, I wrote her new lyrics to the famous BSB song “I Want It That Way”.
Yeah
Mom, Dad and close friends
And BSB fans
Believe when I say
Please stay 6 feet away
We may be two rooms apart
And need to shout Remember
Please stay 6 feet away
You ask why
We cannot be together
And you sigh
Will this go on forever?
My reply
We’ll get through this together
If you stay 6 feet away
My friends text daily
Can we meet safely?
Just for now its zooming we’ll be doing
It’s time to stay 6 feet away
You ask why
We cannot be together
And you sigh
Will this go on forever?
My reply
We’ll get through this together
If you stay 6 feet away
Month after month we are apart
Not as fun as it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That you are important to me
You are my family
And friends and buddies
You are (we are, you are, we are)
Don’t want to hear you say
We cannot be together
Will this go on forever?
Will this go on forever?
We’ll get through this together
If you stay 6 feet away
You ask why
We cannot be together
And you sigh
Will this go on forever?
My reply
We’ll get through this together
If you stay 6 feet away
You ask why
We cannot be together
And you sigh
Will this go on forever?
My reply
We’ll get through this together
We’ll be together some day
For now stay 6 feet away
From your Backstreet Mom
