Margie Joseph recorded a femme version of the song, titled "He's Got a Way," in 1974. Her version uses electric piano as the primary instrument, and adds a Hammond B-3 organ in the third verse to add a touch of gospel music influence. She also adds a gospel choir for background vocals which, in Bielen's opinion gives the impression that her interpretation may be directed towards God rather than a human lover. Bernadette Peters covered "He's Got a Way" on her 1996 album I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, accompanied only on piano. Bielen described this version as being "technically perfect albeit emotion-filled." Erlewine says that she is "well-suited" to its "pseudo-show tune stylings."
