The First Cut is the Deepest Lyrics



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 ....
