You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet
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've had it comin' to me
But I wanted it that way
I say that any love is good lovin'

So I took what I could get
She looked at me with them brown eyes

And said, You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
Here's something that you're never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
And you're thinkin' you ain't been around, that's right

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-n-nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something
That you're never gonna forget, baby
B-B-B-Baby, you know, you know, you know
You just ain't seen nothin' yet
You need an education, got to go to school

Any lovin' 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-n-nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something
Here's a lover you're never gonna forget, baby

B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
You ain't been around
You ain't seen nothin' yet, that's what she told me
She said, I need an education, go to school

I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet, mmh, mmh, mmh
I got something for you right now
Feels good, alright, how do you do that

But I ain't seen nothin' yet
But I deserve it one of these days
But I ain't seen nothin' yet
I ain't seen nothin' yet

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I ain't seen nothin' yet, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait




If you want to show me
What I ain't seen, where I ain't been

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to this classic rock song tell the story of a man who meets a woman who he describes as a devil woman. Despite her negative reputation, he willingly falls in love with her and takes what he can get from the relationship. The woman tells him that he hasn't seen anything yet, promising him something he'll never forget. The man takes this to heart and is optimistic about the relationship, feeling better once he finds out that there is a cure for his love sickness. He admits that any love is good love and he is willing to take what he can get. The woman continues to promise him something unforgettable and states that he needs an education and to go to school to achieve it.


The song is not about a specific woman, but rather a tribute to a phrase said by Randy Bachman's brother, Gary. Gary had a speech impediment and often stuttered when he spoke, leading him to say "you ain't seen nothing yet" repeatedly. Randy found this amusing and decided to use it as inspiration for a song.


Line by Line Meaning

I met a devil woman
I encountered a seductive and captivating woman


She took my heart away
She won my affection and devotion


She said, I've had it comin' to me
She suggested that I was deserving of her advances


But I wanted it that way
I was drawn to her and desired her attention


I say that any love is good lovin'
I believe that love in any form is worthwhile and fulfilling


So I took what I could get
I accepted her love and whatever she was willing to offer


She looked at me with them brown eyes
She gazed at me seductively with her alluring brown eyes


And said, You ain't seen nothin' yet
She hinted that I was in for a pleasant surprise


Baby, you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
My dear, you have yet to experience the best


Here's something that you're never gonna forget
Here is a memorable experience that will stay with you forever


And you're thinkin' you ain't been around, that's right
You may believe you have seen it all, but trust me, you haven't


And now I'm feelin' better
I am now in a happier state of mind


'Cause I found out for sure
Because I have definitive knowledge now


She took me to her doctor
She brought me to her physician


And he told me of a cure
And he informed me of a remedy


He said that any love is good love
He advised that any type of love is beneficial


So I took what I could get, yes, I took what I could get
Therefore, I accepted whatever love she was willing to give me


And then she looked at me with them big brown eyes
And then she gazed affectionately at me with her large brown eyes


Baby, you know, you know, you know
Darling, you are well aware


You just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
You have yet to witness the best


You need an education, got to go to school
You need to be taught a lesson and educated properly


I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
I am aware that I have not experienced the best yet


I got something for you right now
I have an exciting surprise for you at this moment


Feels good, alright, how do you do that
It feels great, excellent, how did you achieve that


But I ain't seen nothin' yet
But I am still anticipating the best


But I deserve it one of these days
But I believe I am deserving of the best at some point in the future


Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
An expression of excitement and enthusiasm


I ain't seen nothin' yet, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I know I haven't seen the best yet, but I am willing to wait for it


If you want to show me
If you want to reveal to me


What I ain't seen, where I ain't been
What I have not yet experienced or where I have not yet been

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
