[Verse 1]
Well, you know every time I look at that expression printed on the page I think I hear you
Whispering the magic and the compliments I need so badly
So baby come on, yeah, so baby come on

[Verse 2]
Now I've been running circles around the notion that you'd find me baby
One day maybe
But all the physic powers of suggestion I've been sending your way
So can't you hear me say

[Chorus]
I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume, all around me
I like the way you move
And do the funky groove
All around me I want you
All around me I need you
All around me I want you
All around me
So can't you hear me say
I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume, all around me
I like the way you move,And do the funky groove

[Verse 3]
Like cold chardonnay chilled for a day
You're smooth and crisp and on display
Like Cartier, Armani
Like TAG, Gucci, Versace
In the middle of the night you're a kiss so long
You're the only good thing when all is wrong
You're a magic time reversal clock
You're the fries on the side with a cherry on top
You're sleek, velvet, gold lame, patent leather, enchante
You're a legend, you're a glamour queen
God I'm running out of words but you know what I mean...

[Chorus]
All around me I want you
All around me I need you
All around me I want you
So can't you hear me say
I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume, all around me
I like the way you move, and do the funky groove

[Outro]
So slide into your Jaguar, or Porsche baby, there you are
Well, chop chop, darling au revoir
Pick up your things you're a star

Savage Garden is Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones—the Australian pop duo who rose to mainstream prominence in the late ‘90s with their hits “Truly Madly Deeply” and “To the Moon and Back.”

They are named for a concept in Anne Rice’s “The Vampire Chronicles” books, of which Darren was a fan. Lestat calls beauty a savage garden, and Marius later turns the phrase back on him to describe “the mind of man”.

They split in 2001, as Daniel did not enjoy the spotlight, and Darren went on to some success as a solo act.
