Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone - and she's always gone too long
Anytime she's gone away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone - and this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
I know, I know, I know, I know (8 x)
Hey! I'll leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone - and this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away (4 x)
