I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken 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 bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst
But when it comes to bein' loved, he'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
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
Oh, yeah

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

'Cause when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst
But when it comes to bein' loved, he's first
That's how I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know, the first cut is the deepest
Oh, yeah

The first cut is the deepest
The first cut is the deepest ....

The first cut is the deepest, yes it is
'Cause when it comes, it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to bein' loved, he's first
But when it comes, it comes to bein' loved, he's first
That's how I know

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