Ain't no sunshine cause she's gone I'm lonely cause she's away My girl is gone and I can't fight sadness How in the world can I stand this madness? I thought it was love, supposed to last for ages Now the book of my life's missin pages Baby, I'm always faithful and truthful Keep you smilin, happy and youthful But now that you're gone ain't nobody to kiss me I'm sittin here wonderin how much you miss me I ask myself why, but I still can't answer If all I tried to do was love and romance ya Show you the right way, then why is it wrong? But all I get is the words to this song Ain't no sunshine cause she's gone I'm lonely cause she's away I been missin you for weeks and weeks And my heart can't stand no more pains and leaks Dreams and fantasia rush my mind I feel like I'm movin backwards in time I never look at your picture, cause I can't stand To think of you never comin back to your man When we made love in the whirlpool I looked in your eyes That's when you cried And said if I left you you'd probably die But now you're gone and I don't know why Baby, come back to me, I'll never leave you Hurt you in any way, girl, and deceive you I wish there was a way, I'm tryin to be strong But all I get is the words to this song When you was around I was always smilin With you on my arm I was always stylin Never ashamed of you, take you anywhere Ex-girls were jealous, but I didn't care A lady in many was and also smart I had no other choice but to open my heart You always took care of me and kept me fed And even at night when we laid in the bed You kissed me on my neck, then I hold you head And we made lovef all night It was over, I kept you till the morning sunrise Kiss you on your lips, then you close your eyes I never left, so I stayed and kept you Watched you sleep cause I had to protect you Everything about you, girl, made me strong But since you been gone... Ain't no sunshine cause she's gone I'm lonely cause she's away
