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

I wonder this time where she's gone 
I 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

Oh yeah

I know, I know, I know, I know 
I know, know, know, know, know 
I know, I know 
Hey I ought to leave 
Hey I ought to leave her alone 
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone 
Only darkness everyday yeah 
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone 
And this house just ain't no home 
Anytime she goes away
