[Verse 1: Brian]
"When you come back, I won't be here"
She said, and gently pulled me near
"If you want to talk you can call
And no, it's not your fault"
I just smiled and said, "let go of me"
Now there's something I've just got to know
Did someone else steal my part?
She said, "it's not my fault"

[Chorus: Brian with Howie & AJ, All]
Then my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn't want you too

[Verse 2: AJ]
I was drifted in between
Like I was on the outside looking in, yeah-yeah
In my dreams you are still here
Like you've always been, oh then my heart...

[Chorus: All with Nick, AJ]
Then my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true (true)
'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious (mysterious)
When the one you want doesn't want you (want you)

[Bridge: AJ with Kevin & Howie, Brian]
I gave myself away completely
But you just couldn't see me
Though I was sleeping in your bed
'Cause someone else was on your mind
In your head
When I came back she wasn't there
Just a note left on the stairs
"If you want to talk, give me a call"

[Chorus: All, AJ, Nick, (Kevin) & Brian]
Heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
(Oh yeah-yeah-yeah-hey-hey!)
'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious
(All so dark and mysterious)
When the one you want doesn't want you too
(When the one that you want doesn't want you)
Then my heart did time in Siberia (Siberia...)
(Hey yeah-eh!)
Was waiting for the lie to come true
(I've waited, I've waited!)
Cause it's all so dark and mysterious (mysterious)
When the one you want doesn't want you too
(When the one you want doesn't want you too, ooh-ooh!)

[Outro: Kevin & All]
Siberia, Siberia
When the one you want doesn't want you too

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
