English term or phrase: you've got a way with me
a phrase from a song by Shanina Twain :
You’ve got a way with me
Some how you got me to believe
In everything that I could be
I’ve got to say
You really got a way mmmm
You’ve got a way it seems
You gave me faith to find my dreams
You’ve never notice what that means
Can’t you see you’ve got a way with me
......and so on......

あなたは私をよくわかってる　(more follows, see below)


Explanation:
There are several translations on this .... Above-captioned is only one of them.
For instance:

私たちはよく気が合う
私たちは相性がいい
あなたは私のことをよく理解してくれる
あなたは私のやり方を知っている etc.

In other words, this is almost same as "We get along so well".
