I could have given her 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

Baby, the first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
And when it comes to being lucky, she's first
When it comes to loving me, she's worst
But when it comes to being lucky, 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
And I'm sure gonna give it a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to being lucky, she's worst
When it comes to loving me, she's cursed
But when it comes to being lucky, 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
Well, I'm sure gonna give it a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
I'm telling you so, the first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest

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