Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand) Lyrics

Anyone
Anyone
Anyone
Anyone

You can blame me
Try to shame me
And still I'll care for you

You can run around
Even put me down
Still I'll be there for you

The world
May think I'm foolish
They can't see you
Like I can
Oh but anyone
Who knows what love is
Will understand

Anyone
Anyone
Anyone

I just feel so sorry (anyone)
For the ones
Who pity me

(Anyone) 'Cause they just don't know
(Anyone) Oh they don't what happiness love can be

I know
I won't ever let you go
It's more
Than I
Could ever stand
Oh but anyone
Who knows what love is
Will understand

Oh (anyone) they'll understand
(Anyone) If they try love they'll understand (anyone)
(Anyone) Oh try to understand (anyone)
(Anyone)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sometimes the hardest thing about love, especially love lost, is the partitioned and cozzie warmth of being or having been in it- something hard to disassociate from the person and relationship that brought it all about.
