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
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, I know, I know

Hey, I oughta 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 this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away (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
Ain't no sunshine

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
