Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)

ABBA · The Essential Collection [2012]

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,



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 a 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 no-one 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 the 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 the 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
