I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone whos torn it apart
And she's taking almost all that I've got

But if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know


The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

When it comes to lovin me she's worse
But when it comes to being loved she's first
That's how I know


The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest


I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried

Cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
But baby, I'll try to love again, but I know


The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest


Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
When it comes to lovin me she's worse

But when it comes to being loved she's first
That's how I know


The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
