Cat Stevens - The First Cut Is The Deepest lyrics

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 loving 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

But 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 loving 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

Baby 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 loving 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
