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

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

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,

Gonna leave the young thing alone,
ain't no sunshine when he's gone
ain't no home when he's away.
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone,
and this [bad word] to long.

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,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,

Gonna leave the young thing alone,
ain't no sunshine when he's gone
ain't no home when he's away.
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone,
and this [bad word] to long.
