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 too long

anytime he goes away.

Wonder this time where he's gone,

Wonder if 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.

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, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,

Cause ain't no sunshine when he's gone.

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone,

only darkness when he's away.

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone,

And this house just ain't no home anytime he goes away.

Anytime he goes away.

Anytime he goes away.

Anytime he goes away.
