You Ain´t Seen Nothin
Bachman-Turner Overdrive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met a devil woman, she took my heart away
She said I had it comin' to me, but I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good lovin'
And so I took what I could get, mm
Ooh, ooh, 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 nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet

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
Ooh, and 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 nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something that you're never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
You need educating, gotta go to school

Any love is good love
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 big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something,
Here's something, mama, you're never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nu-nu-nu-nothin' yet
You ain't been around

You ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet




Baby, Baby, Baby
You ain't seen nothin' yet

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bachman-Turner Overdrive's song "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" tell a story of a man who falls in love with a woman who he describes as a "devil woman" and who takes his heart away. He acknowledges that he wanted to fall for her, even though he knew it might not end well. The woman assures him that he hasn't seen anything yet and that what she has in store for him will be unforgettable. The man seeks help from a doctor, who advises him that any love is good love, and the man takes what he can get.


The song appears to be about the exciting, yet uncertain nature of falling in love. The repeating refrain, "You ain't seen nothin' yet," seems to suggest that the best is yet to come, and that the man's experience with this woman is just the beginning of an exciting journey. Despite the warnings and potential dangers of this love, he chooses to embrace it and see where it takes him.


It's worth noting that the stuttering "B-B-B-Baby" in the chorus was not originally planned to be included in the song. Randy Bachman, one of the songwriters and the lead guitarist, had a stuttering problem and added it in as a joke during the recording sessions. However, the band and the record company liked it so much that they decided to keep it in the final version of the song.

Charts today are crap. But there is good music out there. You have to dig for it.
There is one reason why new songs have a hard time to compete:
you don't have good memories and good feelings (yet) to the new songs.
If you open your heart to give the new music a chance you may like it.
If you like rock'n roll with screaming guitars
