About The Song

“You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” is a well-known rock song by Canadian band Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO). Randy Bachman wrote the tune in 1974 as a joke for his brother, but it later went on to become a significant hit for the group. The song was originally released as the single “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet / Free Wheelin'” in September of the same year. Its popularity grew both in Canada and the US, reaching the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In the UK, it reached number 2 and stayed there for one week, kept off the top of the charts by “Lonely This Christmas” by Mud.

Satisfied with the success of “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” a compilation album named after the song was released in 1983. The single’s maiden lyrics had double meanings, implying that the evoked situations were just a fraction of their experiences and they had more to offer. Over the decades, “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” has remained a classic rock anthem, and its influential melody continues to entertain audiences.

Lyrics

I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said, I’ve had it comin’ to me
But I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good lovin’
So I took what I could get, mmh
Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes

And said,
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet
B-b-b-baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet
Here’s something that you never gonna forget
B-b-b-baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet

“Nothin’ yet
You ain’t been around
That’s what they told me”

And now I’m feelin’ better
‘Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure
He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get
Yes, I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with them big brown eyes

And said,
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet
B-b-b-baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet
Here’s something, here’s something your never gonna forget
baby, you know, you know, you know you just ain’t seen nothin’ yet

“You need educatin’
You got to go to school”

Any love is good lovin’
So I took what I could get
Yes, I took what I could get
And then, and then, and then
She looked at me with them big brown eyes

And said,
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet
Baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet
Here’s something, here’s something
Here’s something that your never gonna forget, baby
Baby, baby, baby you ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet
You ain’t been around
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet
That’s what she told me
She said, “I needed educatin’, go to school”
I know I ain’t seen nothin’ yet
I know I ain’t seen nothin’ yet
