ROD STEWART - TRHE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST
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 Worst
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
And When It Come To Being Lucky, She's Cursed
When It Come To Loving Me, She's Worst
I Still Want You By My Side
Just To Help Me Dry The Tears That I've Cried
But 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
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 Worst
