[Verse 1]
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away

Wondering this time where he's gone
Wondering if he's gone to stay
'Cause ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away

[Bridge]
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
Well, I'm leavin' young thing alone

[Verse 2]
'Cause ain't no sunshine when he's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone for too long
Anytime he goes away
[Outro]
And he's gone, he's gone, he's always gone too long
(Oh, and I don't understand it)
And he's gone, he's gone, he's always gone too long
(I just can't live without your love)
And he's gone, he's gone, he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away
Ooh, I just can't stand it
I know, I know, I know
Oh, I really miss you, baby
Won't you just stay right here, oh
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone for too long
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
