[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's going to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away, oh

[Bridge]
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
Oh, I ought to leave the young thing alone

[Verse 3]
'Cause 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
[Outro]
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away, oh
Anytime she goes away, oh, oh
