Sobre el álbum
Entrando en el nuevo milenio, "Only A Woman Like You" de 2002 supuso un esfuerzo consciente por parte de Michael Bolton para actualizar su sonido, algo que se refleja en la discografía de Michael Bolton como un intento de adaptación. Para ello, colaboró con productores y compositores de renombre en el pop contemporáneo, buscando un equilibrio entre su estilo característico y las nuevas tendencias.
El resultado es un álbum con un sonido más pulido y moderno, con una mayor presencia de programaciones y ritmos de R&B actual. La canción que da título al disco, "Only a Woman Like You", coescrita con el cantante Shania Twain, es un buen ejemplo de esta fusión, una balada romántica con un toque pop muy del siglo XXI.
Pese a estos esfuerzos por modernizarse, la esencia de Michael Bolton permanece intacta. Su voz sigue siendo el centro de atención, transmitiendo la misma pasión de siempre. El álbum fue bien recibido y demostró que podía seguir creando música relevante sin traicionar a su público.
Por todo ello, "Only A Woman Like You" es un disco interesante y de transición. Representa el deseo de un artista consagrado de no estancarse, explorando nuevos matices en su música y demostrando que su voz podía encajar perfectamente en producciones más contemporáneas.

- Dance With Me
Letra
I walked in She was standing there By the bar in a red dress I couldn't catch my breath Her eyes like fire Reached into my heart But my soul was the target I didn't know it yet I couldn't fight it I felt my knees go weak She barely had to speak [Chorus] I don't really want to dance with the devil I admit it: she's a little too hot for me I don't really want to walk through the fire The flame's getting higher She's killing me She said Dance with me Dance with me Oh, baby Dance with me Dance with me Dance with me Oh, baby Dance with me Dance with me Dance with me Oh, baby Dance with me Dance with me Dance with me Oh, baby She took my hand Led me down the stairs To the floor where the music was Worshiped by strangers Her body moved in ways I've never seen Has the face of an angel So filled with danger I couldn't fight it I couldn't take the heat She barely had to speak [Chorus] I don't really want to fall tonight But it feels so right When I know it's so wrong I don't really want to walk away But she's beggin' me to stay And she's much too strong [Chorus] - I Wanna Hear You Say It

Letra
It's beautiful, your honesty You cry when you need to You say what you feel You're never afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve You're always so open with me It's in your voice, I can hear it The sound of a woman in love [Chorus] Only a woman can love you so much Give you her life and give you her trust Not any woman can do what you do Only a woman like you It's magical, your love for me It's more than a man could ever receive I'm just a man and it's hard to believe A woman like you could love me It's in your eyes, I can see it The look of a woman in love [Chorus] If only I could find the words to say But I just can't, so forgive me 'Cause you took the words away You answered every prayer I always prayed It's in your touch, I can feel it The feeling of a woman in love [Chorus: x2] - All That You Deserve
Letra
There's something different about you And as I look in your eyes It says true love has finally found you And given you back your smile I'm sorry I couldn't love you The way I always meant to Now there's someone else to play that part I hope he comforts the child in your heart I hope he understands the woman you are And may he never take for granted The little things that make love work And most of all I hope he's all that you deserve I hear the way you talk about him And suddenly it's all so clear It's time for me to learn to move on How deep in my heart you're still there But I want to see you happy Even if it means that I'll make Room for someone else to play that part I hope he comforts the child in your heart I hope he understands the woman you are And may he never take for granted The little things that make love work And most of all I hope he's all that you deserve Now and forever you will always be Someone who owns a place inside of me The only way I can let you know Is by letting go Now as I let you go I hope he comforts the child in your heart I hope he understands the woman you are May he never take for granted The little things that make love work But most of all I hope he's all that you deserve Ooh yeah Most of all I wish you all that you deserve All that you deserve - Love With My Eyes Closed

I close my eyes And now I pray, That you are out there Doing the same Long for the touch It stands alone It needs no vision To find its home I've seen beauty in the mountains I've seen rivers meet the sea I've seen light above the horizon Shining down all over me I've seen beggars turn to rich men Seen the birth of my own child I don't wanna find this feeling Just to let it go Wanna love with my eyes closed Wanna feel you inside my soul Want your warm body next to me So I can feel what my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed Deep in my mind I touch your skin The risk of emotions In life so thin And will you love me When I am old When I'm no longer Strong to hold I've seen beauty in the mountains I've seen rivers meet the sea I've seen light above the horizon Shining down all over me I've seen beggars turn to rich men Seen the birth of my own child I don't wanna find this feeling Just to let it go Wanna love with my eyes closed Wanna feel you inside my soul Want your warm body next to me So I can feel what my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed Wanna live in the afterglow Wanna trust then I can believe Everything that my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed, yeah I don't wanna find this feeling Just to let it go I wanna love with my eyes closed, yeah I want your warm body next to me So I can feel what my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed Wanna live in the afterglow Wanna trust then I can believe Everything that my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed I've seen beauty in the mountains I've seen rivers meet the sea I've seen light above the horizon Shining down all over me I've seen beggars turn to rich men Seen the birth of my own child I don't wanna find this feeling Just to let it go Wanna love with my eyes closed - To Feel Again
Letra
I know I´m old 'til the moment when we dance I finally realize I'm not so strong Until my heart have had enough So I close the door round up But baby you prove me wrong Now I remember what it´s like to hurt so deep inside God I never want to know 'til you brought me back to life Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you Because of you I can feel again I can feel again My heart was going through the motion of beating But I was faking everything breath I take You taught me with the single kiss Simple truth I almost miss What good to heart that can´t break Now I remember what it´s like to hurt so deep inside God I never want to know 'til you brought me back to life Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you Because of you I can feel again Feel my life begin Put an end to all this emptiness and let you in Took me all enough and now that I know Never got this feeling Oh baby Now I remember what it´s like to hurt so deep inside God I never want to know 'til you brought me back to life Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you Cause of you Baby every way you touch me makes my senses speak Now I dream in eleven colors Since you woke me from my sleep More you give, the more I wonder Where the hell I've been Because of you Because of you I can feel again I can feel again I can feel - The Center Of My Heart
Letra
How do I begin to say Words are not enough to show you how I really feel And how the night is now just knowing you are here I can show you night and day I´ll hold you 'til the end of all tomorrows disappear Now it´s all so clear What a fool I would have been If I never let you in Inside of me So faithfully stood by me [Chorus] It started with a leap of faith, took me to a higher place Though I wasn't ready to believe you were there to reach inside of me. I thank you for the love you gave For every step along the way You taught me to believe again Baby, that´s the hardest part. It´s all because you took the journey The journey to the center of my heart Looking back I have to laugh Thinking how I walked the earth so proudly on my own When deep down I was scared to be alone Somewhere down that lonely path You appeared with love to follow anywhere I go How did you know that you could turn my world around This place I never would have found Without you I would spend my life afraid to fly [Chorus: x 2] - This Is The Way
Letra
Your heart is my need And I love what it means to succeed As your fate is my prize Love you're breathe in me It's what keeps me alive Hold on 'till forever is gone Hold on to whatever it takes To go on and on and on, oh baby This is the way that we live This is the world where our dreams survive Fight for the love that we give The love that we make is all in the way that we live The way that we live In my dreams I can fly In your arms, there's no earth, no sky There's one truth, no lies There's no distance between us Just trust in our lives Hold on 'till forever is gone Hold on to whatever it takes to go on and on, oh baby This is the way that we live This is the world where our dreams survive Fight for the love that we give The love that we make is all in the way that we live The way that we live, the way that we live In our lives there's so much useless information The truth is as simple as the air that we breathe So many souls with the need for human affirmation You and I choose to believe we are free! This is the way that we live This is the world where our dreams survive Fight for the love that we give The paths that we take it's all in the way that we live This is the way that we live This is the world where our dreams survive Fight for the love that we give This is the way that we live - Simply
Letra
I simply love you, I don´t have to ask why I simply know this, like the sun knows to shine The way you touch me, is there anything so right In the soul of every part of me, I feel alive [CHORUS:] It´s true, I don´t have to think twice So true, baby, you´re the fact of life Every little thing you say and do Just breaks me down and brings me back to you It´s true, there ain´t no doubt in my heart It´s you, even in the deepest part Never gonna be a way around it It all comes down to... I simply need you and I want you ´till I ache You made me need you The choice was never mine to make I surrender, I´m just a man with no escape ´cause I´m really not about to live without you, baby [CHORUS ] Ain´t got no temptation, try to solve this mystery There ain´t no explanation, just need to find out what´s meant to be [CHORUS] Now I´ve told you, what I´ve been feeling all along Search for the right way as if it ever could be wrong To simply say, all there is to say I simply love you..... - Slowly
Letra
Slowly desire fills the room Slowly I feel my soul consumed I´m losing myself in you... Sweetly like a lovers´ dance begins Gently my fingers brush your skin Now I´ve found myself in you... Heartbeat to heartbeat the night has begun Piece by piece, baby, I come undone, slowly... CHORUS: You´re the sun, my universe, my ever shining star I was born to live and die right here in your arms I want you to need me, to know you completely There is only one way I´ll make love to you... Slowly... Hold me, don´t let this moment end Touch me like we´ll never touch again I live for this time with you, oh [CHORUS] Heartbeat to heartbeat the night has begun Piece by piece, baby, I come undone... [CHORUS] Tonight there´s only one way I´ll make love to you... slowly... Oh oh (You´re the sun, my universe, my ever shining star), shining star (I was born to live) I was born to love you (And die right here in your arms) I want you to need me, to know me completely There is only one way I´ll make love to you... Slowly... - I Surrender
Letra
A million miles beyond the voice of reason It´s where I can be found Got me walking with my head in the clouds My feet don´t even touch the ground I don´t know what you´ve done to me, baby, But my resistance is gone I thought I was strong Baby, I was wrong 'Cause you call my name and you turn me around As my arms reach out and the walls come down I surrender I´m a fool in a game, I got no way to win Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in I surrender, I surrender to you Heartache shatters loves´ innocence My trusting days are through My resistance was my best defense But I never counted on you You got the key to my destiny, babe, I´m just a willing slave I can´t walk away, no, baby, I can´t walk away You just call my name and you turn me around My arms reach out and the walls come down I surrender Like a fool in a game, I got no way to win Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in I surrender, I surrender Here I am trying to hold back the ocean Drowning in the sea of desire I´ve been betrayed by my own emotions You and my senses conspire (You just call my name) call my name (and you turn me around) I surrender! I´m a fool in a game, I got no way to win Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in I surrender, I surrender to you I surrender, surrender, surrender to you A billion miles beyond the voice of reason That´s where I can be found
