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 the young thing alone,
but ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone, only darkness everyday
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
Anytime she goes away
