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 goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

And 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 ought to leave the young thing alone
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 she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

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 this house ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
