Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away

I wonder this time where he's gone
I wonder if he's gone to stay
'Cause there ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he 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
Well, I oughtta leave that man alone

But there ain't no sunshine when he's gone
There ain't no sunshine when he's gone
There's only darkness every day

Oh, there ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
