[Verse 1]
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
But she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

[Verse 2]
I wonder this time where she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she 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
I know, I know, yeah, I oughta leave the young thing alone

[Verse 3]
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
There’s only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
[Jam]

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, 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 oughta leave the young thing alone

[Verse 4]
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
