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
Any time she goes away
I wonder this time where she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
This house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
I know, I know, I know. . . .
Oh, leave the young thing alone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
(Though I act like nothing's wrong)
Only darkness everyday
(Don't know how I get along)
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
This house just ain't no home
Any time she goes away
Any time she goes away
Any time she goes away
Any time she goes away
