Discover the story of the song > Gimme Gimme Gimme A Man After Midnight – Abba

The song is about a person who is feeling lonely and depressed. They are watching TV alone in their apartment and they hate being by themselves. They look out the window and see the autumn winds blowing but there is no one around. They feel like there is no one to hear their prayers. They want someone, specifically a man, to come and be with them in the darkness and help them chase away their shadows. They want this person to be with them until the break of day. They repeat this over and over, emphasizing their desire for companionship.
