I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she'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
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' 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 lovin' 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

The First Cut Is the Deepest is a 1967 song written and sung by Cat Stevens. The song concerns someone apprehensive about entering a new romantic relationship because they are still suffering from being hurt in a previous one. Sheryl Crow recorded the song as the first single from her 2003 The Very Best of Sheryl Crow compilation album. It was one of Crow's biggest radio hits, remaining 36 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100. It was also Crow's first Top 40 solo country hit. Also topping the Airplay charts in the U.S. and a platinum seller, Crow's rendition is the most popular version in the United States, bringing back the song and reintroducing it to a new generation. The single got a nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards.
