so i was eatin' some chef boyardee, checkin' out some vh1 when it occurred to me that hey now, all the cool kids are putting out greatest hits albums & releasing a cover as their latest track. we-he-hell now... i know that i'm getting no doubt's collection for kreesmus, but sheryl crow, oh u... i hadn't even realized at first that this is indeed a cover, but it's cat stevens alright. nice song. check it:

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 worse
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 worse
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
