Half past twelve
And i'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How i hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as i look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

(chorus)
Gimme! gimme! gimme! a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme! gimme! gimme! a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world i'm living in
Tired of t.v.
I open the window and i gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

(chorus)

Gimme! gimme! gimme! a man after midnight¡­
Gimme! gimme! gimme! a man after midnight¡­

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

(chorus)

Gimme! gimme! gimme! a man after midnight¡­
Gimme! gimme! gimme! a man after midnight¡­
