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 gonna 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, 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......
