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
