The First Cut Is the Deepest
Lyrics and Music: Cat Stevens

 

I would have given you all of my heart

But there's someone who's torn it apart.

And she's taken just all that I had

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.

When it come to being lucky she's cursed.

When it come to loving me she's worse.

 

I still want you by my side

Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried.

And I'm sure gonna give you a try.

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.

When it come to being lucky she's cursed.

When it come to loving me she's worse.

 

I still want you by my side

Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried.

And I'm sure gonna give you a try.

Cause, if you want I'll try to love again.

Baby, I'll try to love again but I know…

Oooh!

The first cut is the deepest.

Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest.

When it come to being lucky she's cursed.

When it come to loving me she's worse.
