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
Wonder, this time where he's gone,
Wonder if he's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone,
And this house just ain't no home,
Anytime he goes away
And I know (x8), well I gotta leave the young thing alone,
Cause ain't no sunshine when he's gone,
Only darkness when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone,
And this house just ain't no home,
anytime he goes away(x3)
