Intro: (Spoken) 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 to you. 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, (n.C) Right down to my bones. 'Cos ooh... verse 1: (n.C) Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, It's not warm when she's a-way. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, (n.C) And she's always gone too long, any time she goes a-way. verse 2: Wonder this time where she's gone, Wonder if she's gone to stay? Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, (n.C) And this house just ain't no home, any time she goes a-way. Break: (n.C) I know, I know, I know, I know, (n.C) I know, know, know, know, know, I know, I know. Hey, I ought to leave, I ought to leave her a-lone; Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. verse 3: Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, Only darkness every day. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, (n.C) And this house just ain't no home, any time she goes a-way. Coda: (with Vocal Ad Libs) (x4)
