Chorus
…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 loving me, she's worsed,
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
Verse 2
I still want you by my side,
Just to help me dry the tears that I cried,
And I'm sure gonna give you a try,
And, if you want, I'll try to love a-gain,
Baby, I'll try to love a-gain, but I know…
Chorus
…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 loving me, she's worsed,
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
