it's always cold when she's away
ain't no sunshine when she's gone
she's always gone too long
any time she goes away

ain't no sunshine when she's gone
in this house just ain't my home
any time she goes away

I know
yeah, I know 
I know 
I will leave your things alone
there 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
in this house just ain't my home
any time she goes away
any time she goes away

I wonder this time where she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay

I leave your things alone 
but there ain't no sunshine when she's gone
I leave your things alone 
but there ain't no sunshine when she's gone

ain't no sunshine when she's gone

any time she goes away
any time she goes away
any time she goes away
