who is she's got a way about
She's Got a Way "She's Got a Way" is a love ballad.[2] The lyrics to "She's Got a Way" have the singer describing how various characteristics of a particular woman, such as her laugh, make him love her, even though he can't understand why.[3] To music critic Mark Bego it's a song about a woman who has "mesmerized" him.[2] Joel biographer Fred Schruers describes the lyrics as a "plainspoken, never-quite-corny adoration of a loved one."[4] According to a friend of the couple, Bruce Gentile, the song was written about Joel's first wife Elizabeth.[5]
She Talks to Angels In 2010, Chris Robinson explained in a webisode (part of a promotional internet series for the band's 2010 Croweology album) that the song is loosely based on a "goth girl" he was acquainted with in Atlanta who was "into heroin".[2]
