Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
Only darkness ev'ry day-
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home,
Any time she goes away.

I wonder this time where she's gone, (ooh-ooh)
Is she really goin' to stay? (oh yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh)
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
She's always gone too long,
Any time she goes away. (oh yeh, yeh)

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
That I can't leave no thing alone,
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, woo - ooh!

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
Is she really goin' to stay?
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And she's always gone too long,
Anytime she goes away, anytime she goes away,
Anytime she goes away, anytime she goes away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
