First, it's wooden swords, play fights in the hall
Growing up a warlord's son is his way of life
Then it's real wars, real pain and real scars
Lighting up a farmer's barn and not knowing why

But his life is about to change
He never thought he'd feel this way
And Gabby's gonna be his only girl
When Love's arrow whirls

One arrow, one look - that's simply all it took
Gabby had him feeling good all over inside
Now she has no clue what he's going through
But she's going to - all in good time

'Cause his life is about to change
He never thought he'd feel this way
Gabby's gonna be his only girl
When Love's arrow whirls

Bridge:
He never wrote a love poem before
Never felt his lonely heart soar
He's got it bad you know and that's a fact
Now there's just no way he can ever go back

Oh yeah, his life is about to change
He will see her in a different way
And Gabby's gonna be his only girl
When Love's arrow whirls

His life is forever changed
'Cause a single arrow flew astray
He discovered that he loves the girl
When Love's arrow whirled

When Love's arrow whirled
When Love's arrow whirled
