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
Any time he goes away

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

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

Lord, you better leave that thing alone
But ain't no sunshine, no oh, when he's gone

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

Lord, you better leave that thing alone
Still ain't no sunshine, oh, when he's gone
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone, ain't no sunshine
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
