Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
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
She's always gone too long 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
Hey, I gotta leave young thing alone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Oh, when she's gone she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
