Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And 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 know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But 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
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
