Steppin to the bad side(Dreamettes: Today)
[James Thunder Early:]
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 wasn't for him, she'd still be true
I've always been a good man, it's been said
Damnit, that man, he wish you were dead
Men like him make good men mad
Starting today I'm gonna be bad, yeah, yeah, yeah

Caminando hacia el lado malo (Dreamettes: Hoy)
[James Thunder Early:]
Sí, un hombre me robó a mi mujer
Se la llevó a Tennessee
Ella era la mejor chica que conocí
Si no fuera por él, seguiría siendo fiel
Siempre he sido un buen hombre, se ha dicho
Maldición, ese hombre, desearía que estuvieras muerto
Hombres como él hacen enojar a los buenos hombres
A partir de hoy voy a ser malo, sí, sí, sí
[J.T. Early ad libs:]
[Dreamettes: repetir hasta el final de la canción]
Paso, paso, hacia el lado malo
