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 to 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 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, gone away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, gone away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, gone away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away I know, I know, I know, I know... Gotta leave the young thing alone There 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 Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away Yeh anytime she goes away
