I would like to know how it feels for my desperation to get louder.

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.

Don't cheat yourself out of music. Music is one thing. The music business is another thing. Save enough of yourself to keep living anyway. Save enough joy in your heart to enjoy it. Let your reward be in the doing of it.

Just keep on using me, until you use me up.

No one can fill those of your needs that you won't let show.

I write and sing about whatever I am able to understand and feel.

Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.
