Lyrics

Ain't No Sunshine

[Verse 1]

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

It's not warm when she's away, yeah

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

She's always gone too long

Anytime she goes away

[Verse 2]

I wonder this time where she's gone

I wonder if she's gone to stay

'Cause ain't no sunshine when she's gone

This house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away, yeah

[Bridge]

Well, I gotta leave the young thing alone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

[Verse 3]

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Only darkness every day, yeah

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

This house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away

[Outro]

Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away, yeah

Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away
