Right Carol, but she did mean "Voi che sapete."

"Voi che sapete" means "you who know", while "voi lo sapete", which I
believe is from "Cavalleria Rusticana", means "you know it."

(Just to be even more confusing, "Tu lo sai" also means "you know
it.")

Anyway, Cherubino is singing to the ladies "you who know what love
is..."
