I would have given you all of my heart
But there`s someone who`s 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
