Spoken intro :

You ever want something

That you know you shouldn't have

The more you know you shouldn't have it,

The more you want it

And then one day you get it,

It's so good too

But it's just like my girl

When she's around me

I just feel so good, so good

But right now I just feel cold, so cold

Right down to my bones

'cause ooh...

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

Wonder this time where she's gone

Wonder if she's gone to stay

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And this house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away

I know, I know, I know, I know,

I know, know, know, know, know,

I know, I know,

Hey I ought to leave

I ought to leave her alone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Only darkness every day

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And this house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away
