"That's the Way (I Like It)" is a song that was written by H. W. (KC) Casey and Richard Finch, and recorded and published in 1975 by KC and the Sunshine Band for its second album.
At the time, this song was considered by some to be rather risqué because of the obvious meaning behind the title as well as its chorus with multiple "uh-huhs" and its verses.

Here we go
Here we go
Oooooooh,
That's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha
That's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha
That's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha
That's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha
When you take me by the hand,
Tell me I'm your lovin' man,
When you give me all your love,
And do the best,
The very best you can (the very best you can).
That's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha
That's the way, ah ha ah ha

Ooooh, that's the way, ah ha ah ha

Yeaaah, that's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha
When I give you me in your home,
When we're all,
All alone,
When you whisper sweet in my ear,
When you turn,
Oh, you turn me on
Oooh, that's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha
Yeah, that's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha
That's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha
That's the way, ah ha ah ha
I like it, ah ha ah ha

When you take me by the hand,
Tell me I'm your lovin' man,
When you give me all your love,
And do the best,
Do it the best you can (the very best you can).
Ooooh, that's the way, ah ha ah ha
