I would have given you all of my heart 
But there's someone who's torn it apart 
And he's taken just all that I've got 
But if you want I will 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 
When it comes to being lucky he's cursed 
When it comes to loving me he's worst 

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry those tears that I've cried 
'Cos I'm sure I'm going to give you a try 
And if you want I will 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 
But when it come to being lucky he's cursed 
When it come to loving me he's worst 

(instrumental break)

Baby I know the first cut is the deepest 
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest 
When it comes to being lucky he's cursed 
When it comes to loving me he's worst
Yeah, baby when it comes to bein' loved he's cursed
And that is how I know the first cut is the deepest
