Lyrics -
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 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 the rainbow
with a fortune to win
it's so different from
the world I'm livin' 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
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
