If you start sweet, then you've got somewhere to go.

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.

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

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.

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

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness every day.
