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

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 young thing alone

But ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone

 

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
