Steppin′ to the bad side
Gonna take a mean ride
The smile I had has gone away
Those that steal are gonna pay
Both: Stepping to the bad side... Today
Stepping to the bad side. whoo, whoo, whoo
Gonna take a mean ride. whoo, whoo, whoo
The smile I had has gone away those that steal are gonna pay
Steppin' to the bad side today
I tell ya now, its got to end
No more trustin them, my friends Change our style, change our tone
Make for songs we sing our own
Steppin to the bad side, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gonna take a mean ride, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got you all the breaks you need
Just two years, we′ll be in the lead
Just sit back, its plain to see
Open your eyes and trust in me
Steppin to the bad side, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gonna take a mean ride, ooh, ooh, ooh


(Radio introducers)
Steppin to the bad side, steppin to the bad side
Singing their big new hit, here's James Thunder Early and the Dreamettes!
I had to step into the bad side
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I had to take myself a mean ride
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You know the smile I had has gone away
Ooh
Those that steal are gonna pay
Steppin to the bad side(Dreamettes: Today)
Yea-ee-yea, Man just stole my woman from me
Took her down to Tennessee
She was the best girl I ever knew
If it wasnt for him, she'd still be true
I′ve always been a good man, its been said
Damnit, that man, he wish you were dead
Men like him make good men mad
Starting today Im gonna be bad, yeah, yeah, yeah
