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
Depressed to see the gloom
Is there a man out there?
Someone 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
Is there a man out there?
Someone 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
Is there a man out there?
Someone 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

Half past twelve
It's already midnight.
And I'm watchin' the late show
I'm alone at home, watching TV.
In my flat all alone
I'm alone in my apartment.
How I hate to spend
I really dislike spending time
The evening on my own
especially evenings without company.
Autumn winds
The winds blowing during autumn
Blowin' outside the window
are blowing outside of my window.
As I look around the room
When I look around the empty room,
And it makes me so
It makes me really
Depressed to see the gloom
depressed to see how gloomy everything is.
Is there a man out there?
I wonder if there is a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer
Someone who can answer my prayers.
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
I want, I want, I want!
A man after midnight
I want a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
Can someone please help me?
Chase the shadows away
I want the shadows to go away.
Take me through the darkness
I want someone to guide me through the darkness
To the break of the day
and lead me to the dawn.
Movie stars
Famous actors and actresses in the movies
Find the end of the rainbow
They seem to have everything they want
With a fortune to win
They have so much money to gain
It's so different from
It's very different from
The world I'm living in
The world I live in.
Tired of TV
I'm bored of watching TV.
I open the window
So I open the window
And I gaze into the night
and I look outside into the darkness.
But there's nothing there to see
But there's nothing interesting or inspiring to see.
No one in sight
I see no one nearby.
Is there a man out there?
Again, I wonder if there is a man out there
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
I want, I want, I want
A man after midnight
I want a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness
I want someone to guide me through the darkness
To the break of the day
and lead me to the dawn.
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
I want, I want, I want
A man after midnight
I want a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
Can someone please help me?
Chase the shadows away
I want the shadows to go away.
Take me through the darkness
I want someone to guide me through the darkness
To the break of the day
and lead me to the dawn.
Is there a man out there?
Once again, I wonder if there is a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer
Someone who can answer my prayers
