From Woodridge, Australia to worldwide success, Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones were responsible for some of the most widely-known pop songs of the late '90s and early '00s. Appropriately enough, given their Anne Rice-inspired name, Savage Garden veered between lush ballads (Truly Madly Deeply, I Knew I Loved You) and up-tempo dance numbers (I Want You, The Animal Song) with a deftness that put many of their contemporaries in the shade.
In July of 1996, under Roadshow Music, the duo released their debut single I Want You.

DmG well don't you know i need a little indulgence DmG listen to the hunter becoming hunted DmG every day there's a million advances DmG don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances EmD well don't you know that time is a broken glass CBm that splinters against the wall A but the picture is coming back now baby Em7/B and i want to take it all
Chorus: CG/BAmG don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep DmG there's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief CG/BAmG cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep DmGC you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
