Oh, that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.

When you take me by the hand,
Tell me I'm your loving man,
When you give me all your love,
And do it the very best you can,

Oh, that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,

When I get to be in your arms,
When we're all all alone,
When you whisper sweet in my ear,
When you turn, turn me on,

Oh, that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,

That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.




That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
