There ain't no sunshine like they say Every time she's gone away I think I wanna hold you I think I wanna hold you I love the way your skin reminds me of the days When we were young and free A simple melody could take us to a place Where it's just you and me But when you're out there on your own I'll be waiting here back home Wondering if you're missing me Cause I'm missing you There ain't no sunshine like they say Every time she's gone away I think I wanna hold you I think I wanna hold you And I'm losing sleep here in LA Thinking 'bout them good ol' days I think I wanna hold you I think I wanna hold you I love the way your smile can drive me crazy Even when you're not around The fragrance of your love has got me high And I ain't ever coming down But when you're out there on your own I'll be waiting here back home Hoping that you're missing me Cause I'm missing you There ain't no sunshine like they say Every time she's gone away I think I wanna hold you I think I wanna hold you And I'm losing sleep here in LA Thinking 'bout them good ol' days I think I wanna hold you I think I wanna hold you, yeah I think I wanna, I think I wanna I think I wanna hold you 'Cause there ain't no sunshine like they say Every time she's gone away I think I wanna hold you I think I wanna hold you And I'm losing sleep here in LA Thinking 'bout them good ol' days I think I wanna hold you I think I wanna hold you I think I wanna hold you
