Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
ABBA/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these 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 these 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 these 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 these shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Line by Line Meaning
Half past twelve
It's already late at night
Watchin' the late show
She's watching TV alone
In my flat all alone
She's alone in her apartment
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
She hates being alone in the evening
Autumn winds blowin' outside the window
It's autumn, and the winds are blowing
As I look around the room
She looks around her room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
Seeing the darkness of the night makes her feel depressed
There's not a soul out there
No one is around
No one to hear my prayer
There's no one to listen to her
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
She wants a man with her, even late at night
Won't somebody help me
She's asking for help
Chase the shadows away
She wants to get rid of the loneliness and darkness she's feeling
Take me through the darkness
She wants someone to be with her as she faces the darkness
To the break of the day
She wants someone to be with her till morning
Movie stars
She's thinking about famous people
On end of the rainbow
She's thinking about their glamorous lifestyle
With a fortune to win
Their wealth and success seem unattainable to her
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Her life is very different from theirs
Tired of TV
She's bored with watching TV
I open the window
She opens the window
And I gaze into the night
She looks out into the darkness
But there's nothing there to see no one in sight
There's nothing to look at, and no one is around
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
She repeats her desire to have someone with her, even late at night
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
She repeats her request for someone to be with her
Won't somebody help me
She repeats her plea for help
Take me through the darkness
She repeats her desire for someone to be with her through the darkness
To the break of the day
She repeats her desire for someone to be with her till morning
