 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 loving me she's worst

 But when it comes to being in love 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

 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 loving me she's worst

 But when it comes to being in love she's first,

that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know,

 the first cut is the deepest

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 loving me she's worst

 But when it comes to being in love she's first,

that's how I know

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