She’s got a way?

Originally released in 1971, this song was re-released 10 years later as a single. In 1982, the year following its second release, it broke into the charts reaching number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the same year as its original release, “He’s got a Way” a femme version brought out by Merilee Rush. The song was covered by another two artists, first by Bernadette Peters in 1996 and then again by Michael Sweet 11 years later in 2007, preserving the romantic undercurrents of the song.
Shortly after the song was recorded Joel decided against putting the track on the album saying it was “corny”. He also admitted having trouble singing it but finally got the hang of the tune.
The song is sung from the man’s perspective about a woman that has made an impression on him. He is while he is frantically searching for grounds to feel these feelings, he finally buckles and accepts the fact that there need not be a reason.
