Any love is good love

Yesterday someone told me about how they had woken up in the middle of the night, thought about something, thought it was genius, but didn't write it down and in the morning forgot it. It got me thinking about the last thing i thought about while not being able to get back to sleep: the lyrics of You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet by Bachman Turner Overdrive. I remember thinking about it for around an hour and was pretty much convinced that it's a song about a man who falls in love with a transvestite. it's a little more subtle than lola, but still i don't think it needs explaination:

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 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 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 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 nothin' yet,
Here's something that you never gonna forget,
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet.

the lyrics pretty much tell the story of the crying game, except without all the ira stuff.
