There are two meanings to this song - in the fist obvious place it is a love song for his then wife Patti Boyd, but Harrison was a spiritual man and this is also about his Higher spirit

A description of the experience
George Harrison- Something
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in the way she smiles
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
All I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
