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

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
Any time she goes away

And I knowI know (24x)
I ought to leave the 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

Any time she goes away (4x)
