Lyrics
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
There's a lack of happiness or brightness when she's not present
It's not warm when she's away
The atmosphere isn't comforting or pleasant when she's not around
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Reiteration of the absence of positivity when she's away
And she's always gone too long
She's frequently absent for extended periods
Anytime she goes away
Every time she departs, it affects the surroundings
Wonder this time where she's gone
Curiosity about her whereabouts this time
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Speculation if her departure is permanent
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Continued emphasis on the absence of joy when she's gone
And this house just ain't no
The house doesn't feel like a home without her presence
Home anytime she goes away
The absence of her turns the home into an unwelcoming place
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
The repetition emphasizes a deep understanding of the impact her absence has, almost a lamentation
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
Recognizing the need to let go, but unable to because her absence is distressing
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
No joy or positivity exists when she's not there, acknowledging a personal struggle with this realization
Only darkness everyday
Highlighting the pervasive darkness in life in her absence
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Reiterating the lack of brightness or positivity without her
And this house just ain't no
Reiteration of the home feeling unwelcoming without her
Home anytime she goes away
The repetition emphasizes a deep understanding of the impact her absence has, almost a lamentation
Anytime she goes away anytime she goes away
Underlining the repeated impact of her departures and the ongoing effect on the surroundings
Anytime she goes away anytime she goes away
