First Cut Is the Deepest - Martin Simpson

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

And if you want, I’ll try to love again

Baby, try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest

Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest

But when it comes to being lucky, I know

When it comes to being lucky, I know

When it comes to being lucky, I know

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 from my eyes

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

Honey, I know the first cut is the deepest

But when it comes to being lucky, I know

When it comes to being lucky, I know

When it comes to being lucky, I know

And that’s how I know

The first cut is the deepest

Oh, don’t you know the first cut is the deepest

Yes

Oh, the first cut is the deepest

Darling, don’t you know, the first cut is the deepest

Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
