Lyrics

[Intro]
Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle
Do-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ain't no sunshine
Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle
Do-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ain't no sunshine
Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle
Do-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ain't no sunshine
Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle
Do-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ain't no sunshine
Oh, she's gone
Gone, gone, gone
Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle
Do-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ain't no sunshine
It looks like rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle
Do-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ain't no sunshine
Woah, she's gone
Gone, gone, gone
Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle
Do-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ain't no sunshine
It looks like
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle
Do-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ain't no sunshine
'Til that's gone
Gone, gone, gone
Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle
Do-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ain't no sunshine
Rain, rain, rain, rain
[Instrumental]
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
[PostChorus]
I wonder, I 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
[Instrumental]
Hmm, 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 ought to leave the young thing alone
'Cause ain't no sunshine since she's gone
[Chorus]
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
[PostChorus]
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
[Outro]
Ain't no sunshine since she's gone
