Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) is a song by Swedish group ABBA.

The inspiration for the song came from the practice of discos closing at midnight, which led people to look for company so they wouldnt have to go home alone.

Half past twelve
Gm
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
Dm
How I hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds
Gm
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
Dm
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
Bb
There's not a soul out there
Gm
Dm
A
No one to hear my prayer

Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win

It's so different from the world I'm living in Tired of T.V.

I open the window and I gaze into the night
Dm
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight

There's not a soul out there
