"You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" was written by Randy Bachman. Randy developed the song while recording BTO's third album, Not Fragile (1974). It began as an instrumental piece inspired by the rhythm guitar on Dave Mason's "Only You Know and I Know". Randy says "it was basically just an instrumental and I was fooling around... I wrote the lyrics, out of the blue, and stuttered them through." The band typically used the song as a "work track" in the studio to get the amplifiers and microphones set properly.
The lyrics for the song tell of the singer meeting a "devil woman" who gives him love. The chorus of the song includes the song's famous stutter and speaks of her looking at him with big brown eyes and [saying] 'You ain't seen nothin' yet. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain't seen na, na, nothin yet. Here's somethin' that you're never gonna forget. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain't seen na, na, nothin yet.'
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 got 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 Got something for you right now Feels good, alright, how do you do that? But I ain't seen nothin' yet I deserve it one of these days Woohoo, but I ain't seen nothin' yet Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah 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 Lalalalalala
