[Intro: AJ & All]
Hey-yeah-hey-ah!
(That's the way I like it baby, that's the way I)
That's the way I like it
(That's the way I like it baby, that's the way I)
(That's the way I like it)

[Verse 1: Nick]
Somebody told me that you're not my kind
So have I lost my mind
(That's the way I like it)
You keep on doing all the things I like
You got me hypnotized
But that's the way I like it

[Pre-Chorus: AJ & All]
Girl you make me wanna move
It's a price I got to pay
For all the things you do
But I like it
Gotta listen to the groove
And you gotta listen well
The way you do it
That's the way I like it

[Chorus: Brian & All]
Everybody now
I like it
Everybody now
That's the way I like it
Everybody come on
I like it
Everybody come on
That's the way I like it

[Verse 2: Brian]
Oh mystery lady
You got something I like
Tell me you're here to stay (ooh-yeah)
You're dangerous
Oh baby, could you do me right?
Will you come out to play?
'Cause that's the way I like it

[Pre-Chorus: AJ & All]
Gotta listen to the groove
And you gotta listen well
The way you do it
That's the way I like it

[Chorus: Brian & All]
Everybody now
I like it
Everybody now
That's the way I like it
Everybody come on
I like it
Everybody come on
That's the way I like it

[Interlude]
That's the way I like it baby
That's the way I, that's the way I like it

[Reprise: Brian & All]
Everybody come on
I like it
Everybody come on

[Pre-Chorus: AJ]
Gotta listen to the groove
And you gotta listen well
The way you do it
Hey-yeah-hey-ah!

[Bridge: All]
That’s the way that I like it
That is the way I like it
That’s the way that I like it
That is the way I like it

[Countermelody: All & Brian]
That's the way that I like it
(Everybody now)
That is the way I like it
(Everybody now)
That's the way that I like it
(Everybody come on)
That is the way I like it
(Everybody come on)
That's the way that I like it
(Everybody now)
That is the way I like it
(Everybody now)
That's the way that I like it
(Everybody come on)
That is the way I like it
(Everybody come on)

[Outro: All]
That's the way I like it
(That's the way I like it baby, that's the way I like it)

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.
