She’s Got a Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her

She's got a way of pleasing
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway

[Verse 2]
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me

And she's got a way of talking
I don't know what it is
But it lifts me up
When we are walking anywhere

[Bridge]
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around

[Verse 3]
She's got a way of showing
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on going
And she's got a light around her
And everywhere she goes
A million dreams of love
Surround her everywhere
[Bridge]
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
Oh woo oh oh

[Verse 4]
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me

She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her anyway

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

One of the more straightforward love songs in Billy Joel’s catalog, even the songwriter himself finds it noticeably sappy:

…I thought it was cornball for years. I had trouble singing it at first. Then I got into it and decided everybody has a corny side, I suppose".
