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 Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

A gravação original da música ocorreu em agosto de 1979, quando a ABBA estava promovendo suas turnês na América do Norte e na Europa.
O single foi lançado apenas em 12 de outubro de 1979, como a única faixa lançada do álbum de maiores sucessos “Greatest Hits Vol. 2”.
Apesar de não ter sido gravado para esse álbum, a canção foi adicionada nas reedições posteriores do sexto disco de estúdio da banda, “Voulez-Vous”.
A voz principal da faixa foi cantada por Agnetha Fältskog, enquanto a música rapidamente se tornou um dos maiores sucessos da ABBA.
O hit alcançou o topo das paradas na Bélgica, Dinamarca, Finlândia, Irlanda e na tabela internacional do Japão, além de entrar no top ten em vários países europeus e na Austrália.
O lançamento nos Estados Unidos e no Canadá foi cancelado pela Atlantic Records, mesmo com cópias promocionais já produzidas, devido à queda de popularidade do disco nos EUA após a “Disco Demolition Night”.
