"You've Got a Way" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country music singer Shania Twain. It was released in May 1999 as the eighth country single from the album Come on Over. It was also the fourth single released to AC radio and fifth to Oceania. It was written by Mutt Lange and Twain. The song was originally released to North American country radio stations in the spring of 1999. The song was also remixed and used for the film Notting Hill. "You've Got a Way" was included on the Come on Over Tour, but in a medley with two other ballads. "You've Got a Way" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 42nd Grammy Awards.

Billboard magazine reviewed the single favorably, calling it hooky and "wedding-ready," though they wrote that it is less captivating than several of her prior songs.

The music video for "You've Got a Way" was shot in Los Angeles, and directed by Paul Boyd. It was filmed on May 2 and debuted on May 24, 1999 on CMT. The video has a springtime feel, with Twain in a flower dress, walking around a garden, which at the end of the video is revealed to only be a music video set. Videos were released with both the 'Album Version' and 'Notting Hill Remix' and each with either scenes from Notting Hill or just Twain, called the Performance Only Version. The 'Notting Hill Remix (Performance Only)' version of the video is available on Twain's DVD The Platinum Collection. After the video shoot, Shania donated the flower dress to the Shania Twain Centre, in her hometown of Timmins, Ontario.

"You've Got a Way" debuted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart the week of June 19, 1999 at number 61, the highest debut of the week. The single spent 20 weeks on the chart and climbed to a peak position of number 13 on August 14, 1999, where it remained for one week. "You've Got a Way" became Twain's first song off Come on Over to miss the top ten on the country charts; however, it did become her 14th (eighth consecutive) top 20 single.
