Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone She's always gone too long anytime she goes away Wonder this time where she's gone Wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just 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 Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Only darkness every day Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away
