Steppin' to the bad side

Those that steal are gonna pay
Steppin' to the bad side (Steppin' to the bad side today)
Yeah, yeah
A man just stole my woman from me
Took her down to Tennessee
She was the best girl I ever knew
If it weren't for him, she'd still be true
I always been a good man, it's been said
But when I catch that man, he'll wish he were dead
Men like him make good men mad
Starting today, I'm gonna be bad
Yeah yeah yeah
Hey hey

Ah, step, step, step, step (Step, step)
