[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) Are blowing outside the window as I look across the room
It makes me so depressed to see the gloom

[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayers

[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 thе darkness through the break of thе 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

[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayers

[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 through the break of the day

[Post-Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayers

[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 through the break of the day

[Post-Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
