What's the story behind James Taylor's "Something in the way she moves"?

[psychoanalytical]

Would anyone know? I love this song, and would like to know the story behind it.

Try looking it up on 'Wikipedia' It is quite good for song meanings.

I always thought this was a Beatles song. Never liked it. I didn't know James Taylor did this song. I like his version.

 

 

Something in the way she moves

 

Theres something in the way she moves,

Or looks my way, or calls my name,

That seems to leave this troubled world behind.

If Im feeling down and blue,

Or troubled by some foolish game,

She always seems to make me change my mind.

 

Chorus:

n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,

Shes around me now

Almost all the time.

n(and) if Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,

n(and) shes been with me now

Quite a long, long time

And I feel fine.___________

 

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,

And I find myself careening

Into places where I should not let me go.

-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,

Yes, and to silently remind me

Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.

Well I said I just got to know that:

 

It isnt what shes got to say

Or how she thinks or where shes been.

To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.

I like to hear them best that way -

It doesnt much matter what they mean,

Weh (when/well? ) she says them mostly just to calm me down.

 

Chorus:

n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,

A-shes around me now

Almost all the time.

If Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,

And shes been with me now

Quite a long,

Long

Time -

Yes, and I feel fine.___________

Hell yes, I caught thoughts going through my head saying, "If I ever propose to a girl, I'm going to have a band playing this song in the background". Goodness it says everything I want to say to a girl. JT is a genius.
