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's gone 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 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, I know I know, I know, I know, I know Hey! I'll 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
