Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband-wife duo Sonny & Cher after their song "I Got You Babe" peaked at number one on the US and UK charts. Together they sold 40 million records worldwide. Her solo career was established during the same time, with the top-ten singles "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and "You Better Sit Down Kids". She became a television personality in the 1970s with her CBS shows; first The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and then the namesake Cher. She emerged as a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows.
While working on television, Cher released the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves", "Half-Breed", and "Dark Lady", becoming the female artist with the most number-one singles in United States history at the time. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, she released the disco album Take Me Home (1979) and earned $300,000 a week for her 1979–1982 concert residency in Las Vegas.
In 1982, Cher made her Broadway debut in the play Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean and starred in its film adaptation. She subsequently garnered critical acclaim for her performances in films such as Silkwood (1983), Mask (1985), The Witches of Eastwick (1987), and Moonstruck (1987), the last of which won her the Academy Award for Best Actress. She then revived her music career by recording the rock-inflected albums Cher (1987), Heart of Stone (1989), and Love Hurts (1991), all of which yielded successful singles such as "I Found Someone", "If I Could Turn Back Time", and "Love and Understanding". Cher contributed to the soundtrack for her next film, Mermaids (1990), which spawned the UK number-one single "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)". She made her directorial debut with a segment in the abortion-themed anthology If These Walls Could Talk (1996).
Cher reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the dance-pop album Believe, whose title track topped the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1999 and became the biggest-selling single of all time by a female artist in the UK. It features pioneering use of Auto-Tune to distort her vocals, known as the "Cher effect". Her 2002–2005 Living Proof: The Farewell Tour became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time, earning $250 million. In 2008, she signed a $60 million deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. During the 2010s, she landed starring roles in the films Burlesque (2010) and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) and released studio albums Closer to the Truth (2013) and Dancing Queen (2018), both of which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200.
Having sold 100 million records, Cher is one of the world's best-selling music artists. Her achievements include a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, the Billboard Icon Award, and awards from the Kennedy Center Honors and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. She is the only artist to date to have a number-one single on a Billboard chart in six consecutive decades, from the 1960s to the 2010s. Aside from music and acting, she is noted for her political views, social media presence, philanthropic endeavors, and social activism, including LGBT rights and HIV/AIDS prevention.

Cher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you've had your fun
And now you're coming 'round again
Sure, baby, I should let you in
So you can let me down again
Well, it doesn't really matter
What you say or do
But I know it ain't true
'Cause you wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it fell in your hands
From the Heavens above
You wouldn't know love
(You wouldn't know love)
No, you wouldn't know love
Said you changed
Said you done me wrong
But you won't do it anymore
No, darling, I don't have to tell you
Where I heard that line before
Baby, you would say anything
To get back into my heart
When it comes to loving
You don't even know where to start
'Cause you wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it fell in your hands
From the Heavens above
You wouldn't know love
(You wouldn't know love)
No, you wouldn't know love
Did you think I'd believe
Anything that you said?
Let you come back to me?
Baby, there's just no way
Baby, I've had enough
And you wouldn't know love
(You wouldn't know love)
You wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it fell in your hands
From the Heavens above
You wouldn't know love
(You wouldn't know love)
No, you wouldn't know love
(You wouldn't know love)
You wouldn't know love
You wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it fell in your hands
From the Heavens above
You wouldn't know love
(You wouldn't know love)
No, you wouldn't know love
You wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it fell in your hands
From the Heavens above

Line by Line Meaning
So now you're back
After leaving and having some fun, you've returned
So you've had your fun
You've enjoyed yourself while you were gone
And now you're coming 'round again
You're making a reappearance in my life
Sure, baby, I should let you in
Although it may not be a good idea, I'm tempted to give you another chance
So you can let me down again
I know that if I do let you back in, you'll only hurt me again
Well, it doesn't really matter
No matter what you say or do, it's irrelevant
What you say or do
Your words and actions hold no weight
You can tell me that you love me
You may claim that you love me
But I know it ain't true
But I know it's not real
'Cause you wouldn't know love
You wouldn't recognize love
If it knocked down your door
Even if love came for you, you wouldn't see it
You wouldn't know it now
You don't know what love is currently
You never knew it before
You have never experienced love before
If it fell in your hands
Even if love appeared, you wouldn't be able to grasp or hold it
From the Heavens above
Even if love came from a divine place, you wouldn't recognize it
Said you changed
You claimed to have changed
Said you done me wrong
You admitted to hurting me in the past
But you won't do it anymore
You're saying that you won't hurt me again
No, darling, I don't have to tell you
I don't need to explain where I've heard these promises before
Where I heard that line before
I recognize these empty pledges
Baby, you would say anything
You're willing to make any promise to win me back
To get back into my heart
Your goal is to worm your way back into my affections
When it comes to loving
However, you don't know how to love
You don't even know where to start
You don't have a knowledge of how to begin showing love to someone
Did you think I'd believe
Did you actually expect me to trust you again?
Anything that you said?
Did you expect me to believe your words?
Let you come back to me?
Did you really expect me to forgive you and take you back?
Baby, there's just no way
There's no way I can accept you back into my life
Baby, I've had enough
I'm done with this situation
You wouldn't know love
You can't recognize what love really is
You wouldn't know love
You're incapable of distinguishing love
No, you wouldn't know love
There is no way for you to understand true love
