Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's gone so long
Any time he goes away

Wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder if he's going to stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away

I know
Hey, ought' a leave that thing alone

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's gone so long
Any time he goes away

Ain't no sunshine in the night
And ain't no sunshine in the day
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone to long
Any time he goes away
Any time he goes away
Any time he goes…
Any time he goes away

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Any time he goes away

Wonder this times where he's gone
Wonder if he's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Any time he goes away
Any time he goes…
Any time he goes away
Any time he goes away

I waited and waited…
And when no message came
I knew it must be from you
