The song’s success helped to make BTO one of the most popular rock bands of the 1970s. The band toured extensively in support of the album, and “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” became a staple of their live set.
“You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” has been covered by many artists over the years, including Bon Jovi, KISS, and Van Halen. The song has also been featured in a number of films and television shows.
In 2009, “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. The song is considered to be one of the greatest Canadian rock songs of all time.

Lyrics
I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said I had it coming to me
But I wanted it that way
I think that any loving’s good loving
So I took what I could get, mmm, ooh-ooh
She looked at me with big brown eyes
And said
“You ain’t seen nothing yet
B-b-b-baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-n-nothing yet
Here’s somethin’ that you’re never gonna forget
B-b-b-baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-n-nothing yet
Nothing yet, you ain’t been around” (that’s what she told me)
And now I’m feeling 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 her big brown eyes
And said
You ain’t seen nothing yet
B-b-b-baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-n-nothin’ yet
Here’s something, here’s something you’re never gonna f-forget, baby
You know, you know, you know you just ain’t seen nothing yet
You need education
Gotta go to school
Any loving’s good loving
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 her big brown eyes
And said
“You ain’t seen nothing yet
Baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-n-nothing yet
Here’s somethin’, here’s somethin’, here’s a lover you’ll never forget, baby
Baby, baby, baby, you ain’t seen n-n-n-n-nothing yet
You ain’t been around”
“You ain’t seen nothing yet”, that’s what she told me
She said I need education, go to school
I know I ain’t seen nothing yet
I know I ain’t seen nothing yet, ooh, ooh, ooh”
I got something for you when I get home
Better be good
I been everywhere
But I ain’t seen nothing yet
I deserve it one of these days, oh yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, but I ain’t seen nothing yet
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I ain’t seen nothing yet
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait
If you wanna how me what I ain’t seen
Where I ain’t been
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
