Ain’t No Sunshine Lyrics by Joe Cocker

The Album Recordings 1984-2007: Related Recordings

2000

[Verse 1]
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 always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
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
[Refrain]
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, know, know, know, know
I know, I know, oh baby
You ought to leave the young thing alone
Anytime she goes away
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
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, know, know, know, know
I know, I know, oh baby
[Outro]
Anytime she goes away
Ain't no sunshine
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
