Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have given you all my heart
But there's someone who has torn it all apart
And I'm surely gonna give you a try
Yeah, if you wanna try to love again
Baby, you can't have the key without cry
[Verse 2]
The first cut is the deepest
The first cut is the deepest
Oh, when it comes to seein' lucky people
When it comes to needin', needin' people
When it comes to seein' lucky people
That's how I know
[Verse 3]
The first cut is the deepest
The first cut is the deepest
[Verse 4]
I have given you all my heart
But there's someone who has torn it all apart
And I'm surely gonna give you a try
And if you wanna try to love again
Baby, you can't have the key without cry
[Verse 5]
The first cut is the deepest
The first cut is the deepest
[Verse 6]
Oh, when it comes to seein' lucky people
When it comes to needin', needin' people
But when it comes to seein' lucky people
That's how I know
[Verse 7]
The first cut is the deepest
The first cut is the deep, baby
The first cut is the deepest
The first cut is the deepest, oh
