Ain’t No Sunshine Lyrics

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

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

I'm living all alone
'Cause there ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
