Half past twelve

and I'm watchin' the late show

in my flat all alone

how I hate to spend

the evening on my own

autumn winds

blowin' outside the 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 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

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
