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 room      There's not a soul out there   No one to hear my prayer      Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight   Won't somebody help me chase these 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 that 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      There's not a soul out there   No one to hear my prayer      Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight   Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away   Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight   Take me through the darkness to the break of the day      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      Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight   Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away   Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight   Take me through the darkness to the break of the day      Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight   Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away   Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight   Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
