Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 the window
As I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
[PreChorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 TV
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
[PreChorus]
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
[Bridge]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
[PreChorus]
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
[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
