Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone to long
Anytime he goes away

I wonder this time where he's gone
I wonder how long he's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he 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 when he's gone
Always gone too long
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away, yeah, yeah, yeah
