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 Wonder how long he's gonna stay 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 would leave that man alone But ain't no sunshine when he's gone Ain't no sunshine when he's gone Only darkness every day Ain't no sunshine when he's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime he goes away Anytime he goes away
