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
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know

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
