I know, I know

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

It's not warm when she's away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And she's always gone too long

Anytime she goes away

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

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

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

Hey, I oughta leave young thing alone

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

It's not warm when she'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 she's gone

Wonder if he's gone to stay

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And this house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away

And I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
