Lyrics
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Absence of joy and brightness when she is not present
It's not warm when she's away
The atmosphere is not comforting or pleasant in her absence
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Reiteration of the impact of her absence on happiness
And she's always gone too long
She stays away for extended periods, causing a sense of longing
Anytime she's goes away
Every time she departs, a void is felt
Wonder this time where she's gone
Curiosity about her whereabouts this time
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Speculation on whether her departure is permanent
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Reiteration of the impact of her absence on well-being
And this house just ain't no home
Emphasis on the emptiness of the home without her
Anytime she goes away
The feeling of emptiness persists whenever she leaves
And I know, I know, I know, I know
Intense repetition emphasizing a deep understanding of her absence
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 oughta leave young thing alone
A realization that it might be better to avoid involvement with a young person
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, woh woh
Despite the realization, her absence still brings darkness
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Reiteration of the impact of her absence with a focus on darkness
Only darkness every day
Highlighting the pervasive darkness experienced daily without her
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Emphasis on the recurring theme of darkness in her absence
And this house just ain't no home
Reiteration of the emptiness of the home when she's not there
Anytime she goes away
Expressing the ongoing impact on the home when she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Highlighting the consistent emptiness felt each time she departs
Anytime she goes away
-Anytime she goes away
