I would have given you
All of my heart
But there's someone
Who's torn it apart
And she'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 being lucky she's cursed
When it comes
To lovin' me she's worst
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
Oh, 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 worst
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
