The First Cut is the Deepest by Cat Stevens

My roommate put the best of Cat Stevens CD in car’s player yesterday night. The minute Yusuf started to sing, I knew that I was gonna post this song for today. I think a significant element in Cat’s success was his quite impressive simplicity in depicting emotions. “When it comes to being lucky she is first, when it comes to loving me she is worst.” Another perfect track by a wonderful musician.

The First Cut is the Deepest Lyrics

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
