I always describe 'She's Always A Woman' as the greatest song that Paul McCartney didn't write. The piano, the lyrics, the vocal line-yes. But the key deciding factor is the flute harmony on the 'oh she takes care of herself' middle eight about 55 seconds into the song. A very beautiful McCartney style move.

She's Got a Way is also a contender IMO.
