An' this house just ain't no home, Anytime she goes away.
I feel that it is healthier to look out at the world through a window than through a mirror. Otherwise, all you see is yourself and whatever is behind you.
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.
We aren't getting what we should from law enforcement.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness every day.
The same love that made me laugh makes my cry.
If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry, I'm right up the road. I'll share your load if you just call me.
If nobody throws all their rules at you, you might make a song with no introduction.
Just keep on using me, until you use me up.
Ain'tno sunshine when she's gone. It's not warm when she's away. Ain'tno sunshine when she's gone, and she's always gone too long, anytime she goes away.
I was wiser at 30 than I am now. My judgment was better at 12. If you look out the windshield of a Hyundai or a Bentley, you see the same road.
I would like to know how it feels for my desperation to get louder.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.
If you start sweet, then you've got somewhere to go.
