"The Way He Makes Me Feel" is the title of a popular song from 1983 performed by Barbra Streisand. The song is featured in the film adaptation of the play "Yentl", in which Streisand starred and sang most of the music. The lyrics were by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, with music by Michel Legrand.

Along with another song from "Yentl" ("Papa, Can You Hear Me?"), "The Way He Makes Me Feel" was nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Original Song; however, both tunes lost the Oscar to "Flashdance...What a Feeling" by Irene Cara.

"The Way He Makes Me Feel" was released as a single in a slightly different and more contemporary version than the one on the soundtrack to the film. It reached #40 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart and spent two weeks at #1 on the adult contemporary chart. [Hyatt, Wesley (1999). "The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits" (Billboard Publications)] This was Streisand's eighth (and, to date, final) #1 song on the "Billboard" adult contemporary chart.
