[Verse 1]
Clap your hands now everybody
We're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna sing, shout, and knock ourselves out
Everything's gonna be alright (Alright)
Now let the bassman start playin'
He's gonna come in right on time
He's gonna add a beat to make you pat your feet
Everything's gonna work out fine (Work out fine)

[Chorus]
And we can say I like it like that (I like it like that)
I like it like that (I like it like that)
Oh, that's where it's at and I like it like that

[Verse 2]
Now after a man finds hisself a woman
She doesn't have to be a beauty queen
And then she holds you tight, she makes you feel alright
Any man that I've ever seen

[Chorus]
He's got to say, I like it like that (I like it like that)
Oh, I like it like that (Oh, I like it like that)
Oh, that, I'm trying to tell you (Oh, that's where it's at, that's where
It's at, oh, that's where it's at) and I like it like that

[Bridge]
I like it like that (I like it like that)
I like it like that (I like it like that)
I like it like that (I like it like that)

[Verse 3]
Now I know why my mama, taught me to be true
She just a know one day that you would come my way
And I would fall in love with you

[Chorus]
And you could say I like it like that (I like it like that)
Oh, I like it like that (Oh, I like it like that)
(oh, that's (I'm trying to tell you)where it's at, that's where it's at
Oh that's where it's at) Everybody sing now

The Miracles

The Miracles (also known as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles from 1965 to 1972) were an American rhythm and blues vocal group.

They were formed at school in Detroit in 1955 as The Five Chimes. In 1956 they changed their name to The Matadors, adding Claudette Rogers to the line-up. They were spotted by Berry Gordy at an audition in late 1957 and in February 1958 changed their name to The Miracles. Their first release, ‘Get A Job’ b/w ‘My Mama Done Told Me’, was issued via the End label that same month. Another single on End followed, and then one on Chess and Motown, before the group finally found a home on Tamla where they had a string of hits and Smokey established himself as a key songwriter for the label throughout the 1960s.

In late 1965 Berry Gordy decided to adjust the group’s name and they were billed thereafter as Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, until Smokey left the group in July 1972 (although the final Smokey Robinson & The Miracles single was not released until November). He was replaced by Billy Griffin, with the name being reverted back to The Miracles for the new line-up.
