“Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)“, (working title “Been and Gone and Done It”), is one of ABBA’s biggest Eurodisco hits. It was recorded and released in 1979 with “The King Has Lost His Crown” as the B-side. It appears on ABBA’s Greatest Hits Vol. 2 album, as well as their best-selling album, Gold: Greatest Hits.

“Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man after Midnight)” was written and composed by Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus, with the lead vocal sung by Agnetha Fältskog. Agnetha, as the narrator, weaves the image of a lonely young woman who longs for a romantic relationship and views her loneliness as a forbidding darkness of night, even drawing parallels to how the happy endings of movie stars are so different from her own existence.

ABBA - Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!

Versuri:
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 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 prays

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 T. V.
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 prays

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 prays

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
