Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she is 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.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,

I said hey, you wanna leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
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.
