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 so long anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
There 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...

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
