Sheryl Crow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taking 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
But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse

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
If you want, I'll try to love again, try
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know, oh

The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse

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
(Try to love again, try to love again)
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know, oh

The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse, oh oh

The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know




The first cut is the deepest
Try to love again

Overall Meaning

In "The First Cut Is the Deepest," Sheryl Crow sings about possible hesitation towards a new relationship due to past heartbreaks. She expresses that she would have given all of her heart to someone, but it was torn apart by a previous lover who took everything she had to give. Despite this, she states that she will try to love again but admits that the first cut is the deepest. The phrase refers to the emotional pain caused by the first heartbreak that one experiences, which can make it difficult to fully trust someone again. She acknowledges that the previous lover's actions and the pain caused has left her feeling cursed and worse when it comes to love.


However, she still desires to have someone by her side to help her heal and dry the tears from her eyes. She is willing to give another try, but the pain caused by her first heartbreak has left her uncertain of how successful a new relationship can be. Crow's lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak and still desires to love again but is hesitant to trust another person.


It's worth noting that "The First Cut Is the Deepest" was written and originally recorded by Cat Stevens in 1967. Many other artists, including Rod Stewart and Keith Hampshire, have covered the song before Sheryl Crow's version. Her version was released in 2003 and became a hit in several countries, including the U.S. and the U.K.
