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.
I write and sing about whatever I am able to understand and feel.
Value the people who value YOU.
Sellout... I'm not crazy about the word. We're all entrepreneurs. To me, I don't care if you own a furniture store or whatever - the best sign you can put up is SOLD OUT.
When you get to all right, take a good look around and get used to it, because that may be as far as you're gonna go.
