I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taking 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
And when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
And, 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, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'Cause if you want, I'll try to love again (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
And when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
(Try to love again)
