    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 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

    Released on 23 April 1979, making this song 46 years old - and it a song that still works: put this on at any party, disco, funeral, bar mizvah or wedding and people will storm the dance floor, still! I defy you to pick a current song or band who'll pull this off for even the next decade...
    Thank you for the music ABBA 🙏

    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 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
    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
    Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
