Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
He's always gone too long
Anytime 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
Many time he goes away
And I know, I know...
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when he's gone,

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when he's gone,
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
