  • 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

    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

    Oh yeah
    Yeah, yeah, baby, baby, baby, I know
    The first cut is the deepest
    Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
    'Cause when it comes comes to to being lucky, he's cursed
