Andy Gibb - Arrow Through The Heart Lyrics






I just don't understand how love became your problem
Hearts that should not cry
No words are missing but it's not understood
It's time to take me back to school
So fine just as you are
I could be the life you save
I'll be there when you need your

World of girls and boys think about the kill before you draw the bow...and cut me low
Like an arrow through the heart, arrow through the heart, oh
Arrow the heart, arrow through the heartbreak and the pain never smile out in the rain
Never to be seen again, nothing makes you die; like an arrow through the heart

High flying bird you can never love nobody
But I will not loose my dream
Birds of feather, they are never out flown
Against the sky it's beautiful
But an arrow through the heart, arrow through the heart, oh arrow through the heart
Arrow through the heart break over you, steady hand your aim is true,
Bring me to my knees again, I'm too young to die. I'm too young to die

My silver moon
My golden sun

All those girls and boys think about the kill before you draw the bow....and cut me low
Like an arrow through the heart, arrow through the heart,
0h arrow through the heart,arrow through the heart...

  5. P.... ....

    Tragic because he died of inflammation of the heart also the line "I’m too young to die" is also eerie because that was true as well

    P.... ....

    And update I just found out this was his very last recorded song before his death "Never to be seen again" Absolutely crazy and tragic

  6. L.... J....

    Amazing song from Andy should have been a number 1 for him

  7. k.... l....

    I want to cry hearing this...🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤.

  8. C.... D....

    Voz maravilhosa!!! Aliás, os irmãos Gibbs foram abençoados com vozes que valorizavam cada canção....sou apaixonada por eles e não me canso de ouvir as canções que fazem sucesso até hoje

  9. F.... ....

    Written by Andy, Barry and Maurice, Recorded July 1987 in Miami. The last he ever recorded and a glorious final goodbye.

  10. A.... C....

    the World lost an Entertainer.
    the Gibbs lost a son and brother.
    a family lose a father.

    tragic loss to the music industry :(

    i’m only 20 yrs old but I do enjoy listening to the Bee Gees and i’ve recently started listening to Andy. really wish Andy, Robin and Maurice were still here. all three are missed everyday!

  11. P.... S....

    I try to get this on I tunes love this song and Andy last song he recorded before he died in March 1988 RIP ANDY GIBB 1958 - 1988

  12. M.... S....

    We can hear Barry's voice in the background at the end!

  13. L.... S....

    Gone to soon. You feel his pain in this song. Andy you're missed by many. 🌹🌹🌹💗💗💗

  14. B.... S....

    Damas y Caballeros, esto es poesía qué salió inspirado del corazón cada letra toca las fibras más finas del Alma, solo escuchar produce emociones encontradas, y deja claro qué el   reggaeton es el cáncer de la música..

  15. P.... L....

    Should have been a hit

  16. M.... H....

    i'm too young to die... this is a tragedy

  17. A.... A....

    I don't like Victoria Principal.

  18. M.... B....

    2018 marks 60 years since he was born and 30 years since he died.
    He died on March 10, 1988 just 5 days after his 30th birthday.

  19. s.... ....

    Love Andy Forever and sharll keep Him ALIVE!!!! Forever Friend!!!!

  20. T.... P....

    What complete irony in this song... "I'm too young to die" dies at 30 "arrow through the heart" dies of heart failure

    T.... P....

    I have a feeling he knew the whole time. He just didn't tell anybody. 😔

    T.... P....

    Lanie Davidson I find it odd that he died in England...

  21. J.... T....

    Beautiful song. My most favorite by Andy Gibb !

  22. m.... ....

    The man died of a broken heart. That's probably how I will die.

    m.... ....

    That’s not true!

  23. H.... B....

    You can really connect with Andy through this song. I was born in 1977 and my parents raised me on the Bee Gee's but there was something special about Andy. He is amazing RIP Andy.

  24. M.... O....

    Maravillosa canción y triste a la vez-La expresión al máximo de sus sentimientos-Que seas feliz Andy donde quieras que estes-Descansa en paz.

    I disagree with those of you that said his life was a waste .. this man left us all with unforgettable music ... and memories of his gentle soul ... I for one feel blessed that he was here ... if only for a little while ... God bless you Andy ... Rest in peace

  30. B.... G....

    can I get this on I tunes ?

  31. E.... B....

    I think this is one of the only songs where all 4 brothers are singing together.

    E.... B....

    Evan Bakerian nope.... Shadow Dancing is another one

    E.... B....

    "Desire" too

  32. E.... B....

    This song and man on fire are really good. I wonder if he had lived and promoted these songs would they have been big hits?

  33. M.... M....

    Really "So Young to die..." Andy how we miss you 😢😢😢

  34. N.... M....

    Sweet voice. All fans of Gibb Brothers have been missing Andy. Beautiful song.

  35. d.... ....

    Arrow through the heart. I'm too young to die. Wow !

  39. j.... z....

    alcohol and drugs took our beautiful
    Andy Gibb away
    love this song so sad

    j.... z....

    👎🏼

  40. J.... H....

    Beautiful and prophetic song

  41. K.... D....

    These lyrics are indeed sad especially considering how young he died. So sad. It's a very nice though haunting song and shows artistic growth. Andy was very talented and he would have taken the world by storm I believe. He had so much more to accomplish. His death remains one of the most tragic in entertainment. He's very missed.

  42. M.... M....

    Magnifique👍👍✌✌💙💙💚💚

  43. b.... c....

    i miss andy
    this song should have been no 1

    such a wasted life but he
    left us with some wonderful

    music and memories

    i hate drugs

  44. J.... ....

    Ironic last song......

  45. D.... B....

    Beautiful song....love you Andy....miss you!!!♡♡♡

  46. m.... M....

    bet he wrote this for the viper

    m.... M....

    the viper haha! :)

    m.... M....

    Nope. He wrote this because he was dying...

    m.... M....

    Rhianna Barr Actually Andy's brother Barry wrote this for Andy, and this song was meant to be Andy's big comeback. It was the final song Andy ever recorded. Barry kept the master of this and the other songs Andy had recorded for his comeback album in the Bee Gees archives until the Bee Gees boxed set was released in 2010. Until then, some bootleg demos of this song were circulated, and a 15 second clip of the master is heard in Andy's episode of Behind The Music.

    m.... M....

    @David Hammond​ I think Andy co-wrote it with Barry. I knew about it being the last song though.

  47. C.... R....

    One of my all time favorite songs! Love you so much my Andy!🎶💔😚

  48. A.... J....

    A VERY AWESOME SONG!!!!! 💘

  49. B.... G....

  52. d.... c....

    the best song ever recorded would be his last

    d.... c....

    agree. :)

  53. f.... h....

    It was soooo sad to lose some one like Andy, he was a great singer and very much one of my favorite male singers in the 80''s and yes he was to young to die, in his song arrow through the heart he did love some one sooooo deeply and they hurt him soooo bad he never got over it and that's why he went into his depression and drinking again so heavy . But no matter what some one my put as a comment it was sad that we lost a great singer and I hope he is with his other two brother's. It hard to think we only have Berry left,where did are lives go ? Went past to fast,in March it was 27 years ago we lost Andy

    f.... h....

    At only 30

    f.... h....

    The best always goes first and remains in our hearts Andy will always lives on in all who loves him dearly

  54. S.... W....

    Such a sad waste of talent and life.

  55. D.... V....

    I just don't understand
    How love became your problem
    Hearts that should not cry

    No words are missing, but it's not understood
    It's time to take me back to school
    Someone just as you are 
    I could be the life you save
    I'll be there when you need your

    World of girls and boys 
    Think about the kill before you draw the bow
    And cut me low
    Like an Arrow through the heart, 
    Arrow through the heart, 
    oh arrow through the heart.

    Arrow through the heartbreak and the pain
    Never smiling in the rain
    Never to be seen again, nothing makes you die;
    Like an arrow through the heart.

    High flying bird, you can never love nobody
    But I will not lose my dream
    Birds of a feather, they are never outflown
    I guess the sky is beautiful.

    But an arrow through the heart, 
    arrow through the heart, 
    oh arrow through the heart, 
    Arrow through the heart break over you, 
    steady hand your aim is true
    Bring me to my knees again

    I'm too young to die!
    I'm too young to die!

    My silver moon!
    My golden sun!

    World of girls and boys 
    Think about the kill before you draw the bow
    And cut me low

    Like an arrow through the heart, arrow through the heart, oh,
    Arrow through the heart, arrow through the heart...

    D.... V....

    OMG!!!!!THANK YOU😘😘😘😘

    D.... V....

    allymayful beautiful lyrics

    D.... V....

    Daniel Varga how rights the hole song on this

    D.... V....

    Man, you can really HEAR Maurice during the chorus toward the end!! His voice was deep and rich. His speaking voice and singing voice on this record are VERY SIMILAR!! LOVE MO!

    D.... V....

    By the way, good song. Too bad Andy died young without knowing he still had VALUE as a human even though the hits had stopped coming.

  56. h.... ....

    He knows he was going to die, you can see it through his last song, but he couldn't do anything about it.

    h.... ....

    +hc2324 was this song his last one? when was it recorded?

    h.... ....

    +Ovis Musmón yes.

  57. V.... M....

    He is my everlasting Love <3 <3 <3

    V.... M....

    A great song. 
    ANDY imposes full power. 
    Seductive song. 
    Intense.
    .........................................
    Una gran canción.
    ANDY le impone toda su potencia.
    Canción seductora.
    Intensa.

    V.... M....

    You think so...

  58. a.... ....

    Thanks for posting.  Great song.

    a.... ....

    @austx290 Think about the kill

  59. J.... S....

    RIP Andy, Maurice and Robin Gibb

  60. A.... C....

    It's a very nice song; Andy was a great perfect singer and performer.  I play it so often it is on the Bee Gees Mythology album.

    A.... C....

    Yes Incidentally the first time I heard it; it was on a documentary  about Andy;  I am lucky enough to have this song , received it as a birthday gift from my cousin in Australia; I have the Mythology album which has four CDs one containing Barry's collection another with Robin's collection and another with Maurice and the fourth with Andy's collection.  I love their voices so much that I am never tired of hearing their interviews and documentaries; they were so talented and genius they had music in their blood !  Today it is the 2nd anniversary of losing Robin. Miss the Bee Gees now but their music is never old.

    A.... C....

    @Angela Carabott Heard it first on the doc. So glad to hear the whole song. 

    A.... C....

    @Angela Carabott Yeah, the first time I heard this song in its entirety was from
    the Mythology 4 cd box set.  In fact, to my knowledge, this song is only available
    on this collection.  In have all Andy's albums, both on original vinyl, and also on
    cd.  And, this song was recorded back in 1987, and was intended to be part of a
    new comeback album, which because of his death, was never completed.  The
    song was only released years later on the 4 disc Mythology album as a kind of
    tribute to his life and music. Sadly missed Andy, Maurice and Robin. r.i.p.

    A.... C....

    Gary Dunn that was the first time I heard it too. That episode of VH1 Behind the Music has disappeared.

    A.... C....

    Angela Carabott today is the 5th Anniversary of losing Robin

  61. m.... A....

    I just don't understand
    How love became your problem
    Hearts that should not cry
    Nothing makes you die; like an arrow through the heart..

    ARG u will ALWAYS be LOVED & NEVER 4GOTTEN!!!

  62. B.... C....

    GREAT SONG!  This would have been a huge hit for Andy.  

  63. 5.... ....

    Sad but I'm so thankful to have another song by Andy. I feel his pain through this song!

    5.... ....

    I first heard this song way back in the late 1990's on the "Behind the Music"
    documentary about Andy's rise to fame, and his downward spiral, on a cocktail
    of drugs and alcohol.  It was very heart breaking to hear this song towards the
    end of the documentary, when Andy's health was failing.  It seems almost
    prophetic now, for him to be singing such a moving song, having died of
    heart problems.  So sad to see such a talented man, gone before his time.
    R.I.P.  Andy.

    5.... ....

    +Gary Dunn Absolutely!

    5.... ....

    Same..😞😭

    5.... ....

    His pain is palpable in this song....Guess he never did get over her...

  64. V.... P....

    Even though some of the best singers, who deep down inside are some of the most nicest people die a tragic death, caused by drugs, alcohol, whatever, that never goes to say their life was a waste.  To me a waste in when one has a nasty attitude, cares nothing about people, love or anything they should first, but first loves only money or power.  Their life was not a waste, they blessed the rest of the world with their good music.  They were human and just made mistakes like others.  Being rich and famous does not mean one is supposed to be "perfect".  But I think he was a good person.  I love his music.  "Good" people inside, die from drugs, alcohol and they go through problems that sometimes become too much for them.  Their worries and problems get the best of them.  One problem is always trying to "live up to other peoples standards".

    V.... P....

    Gone way too soon.  I love his music.  A handsome guy he was.  I would have loved to write some music with him.

    V.... P....

    It's sad, when you see a person so handsome, so talented, one who appears kind, and has so much going for themselves and yet they go through depression, they feel unsure of themselves, they feel they are not good enough.  He was fine just the way he was.  We have to love ourselves enough to be happy the way we are.

    V.... P....

    Still love his music. 

    V.... P....

    Viola Pressley Andy left his music, a daughter, and grandsons. What a gift.

    V.... P....

    It is sad that he left those behind that he loved and that loved him.  I think people have to try to think about that before they allow substance abuse, drugs or alcohol to destroy their lives.  Life is not worth that.  What has always mattered more than anything to me "Is my family, those who raised me, those I have grown with".  They are my world.  They are more important that the fame and money.  I put none of that above them.  What is mine, shall be theirs.  It is due to the love of "my family", the Pressley family, that I have the courage and strength to not desire to fall victim to love of money and material things, to not be drawn to fame where it shall become my destruction, where I harm myself.  I will always love Andy's music.  I wish I would have had the chance to meet him.  The most precious things in life are that which come for free.  People who love you for the person you are, those are the people you need to surround yourself with.  Not those who make you feel like you are not good enough, who make you feel like nothing you do is good enough.  He was good enough in my eyes just the way he was, being Andy, without the drinking or feeling he had to live up to others, be as good as others.

  65. G.... D....

    What a waste of a very talented performer, its ironic that Andy's last studio song
    "Arrow through the Heart" seemed almost prophetic in his case, because he died
    of heart failure. r.i.p  Andy.  

  66. J.... d....

    Could have been a No.1 for Andy. Such a wasted talent. RIP.

    J.... d....

    The irony is that this was to be his last studio recording, and he died far too
    young at the age of 30 years old, due to heart problems. r.i.p. Andy.

    J.... d....

    I agree amazing song RIP Andy

  67. G.... A....

    Such a waste they didn't release this in '88 when it could've been a hit.  Probably didn't want to because of the "I don't want to die" line in the bridge.

    G.... A....

    It's "I'm too young to die" I think he knew he was going to... He was sober but his heart (literally) as well as emotionally was destroyed by drink and heartache

    G.... A....

    no, Andy refused to meet with the label.

    G.... A....

    It took this long before his brothers could even consider finishing the song. For years, that little portion they used for “Behind the Music” was the only part that was usable. Losing Andy and Maurice was very raw for them, especially for Barry, because his connection with Andy was like the one Robin and Maurice had being twins.

  68. M.... V....

    bravo gabrielle

  69. 5.... ....

    He wrote this for his come back album. I love it even though it is sad expressing his internal pain. He was so passionate and got hurt easily. This song would have been a great hit!

    5.... ....

    Sad that this and other songs were not put on his last greatest hits album! There are a bunch of songs and when I asked Peta she blocked me!

    5.... ....

    Jrrcor It actually wasn’t finished. That little bit on “Behind the Music” was all there was until they went back and finished it.

  70. 5.... ....

    Miss you Andy!

  71. s.... ....

    This song is awesome. It's sad yes and foreshadowing most of all, but nevertheless it's awesome...

  72. 5.... ....

    Thank you so much for finding and sharing this song. We waited so long for it's release. It's beautiful and showcases Andy's talent again.
