I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone whos 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
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to 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
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the 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 the worst
The song "The First Cut Is The Deepest" by Rod Stewart is a poignant and emotional ballad about the pain of lost love and the possibility of starting again. The lyrics speak of a heart that has been broken and torn apart by a past love, but also of the willingness to try to love again. The singer acknowledges that the first cut is always the deepest, and that the pain of a first heartbreak can linger and affect future relationships. He expresses his desire to be with someone who can help him heal and move on from the past, despite the fear and uncertainty that may come with that.
Throughout the song, the singer juxtaposes his feelings of hurt and betrayal with his hope for the future. He refers to the woman who hurt him as "cursed" when it comes to being lucky and terrible when it comes to loving him. Despite this, he still longs for her presence in his life, if only to help him through the pain. The song is a powerful expression of the complexities of love and heartbreak, and the ways in which they can shape our lives and relationships.
