Ricky Martin

Released: November 14, 2000

This is not the way I wanted things to be
I hope someday you'll understand
My heart beats stronger when I know I'm close to you
Its helped me be a better man

Why must all of the love come falling
Why don't we just take our chance
I could walk this road again with you
My love....oh,oh

Why can't you come to me
Don't save your love for some
Elusive dream
Why can't you find your way
I will fall for you no matter where
It leads

This is not the way we started you and I
How was it that I lost my way
Two souls can drift apart
Without a word
Were those the words I did not say

Why must all of the dreams
Come falling
Why don't we just take our chance
I could walk this road again with you
My love...oh, oh

Why can't you come to me
Don't save your love for some
Elusive dream
Why can't you find your way
I will fall for you no matter where
It leads

I would walk this road again with you my love

Why can't you come to me
Don't save your love for some
Elusive dream
Why can't you find your way
I will fall for you no matter where
It leads

Enrique Martín Morales (born December 24, 1971), commonly known as Ricky Martin, is a Puerto Rican singer, actor and author. Martin began his career at age 12 with the all-boy pop group Menudo. After five years with the group, he released several Spanish-language solo albums throughout the 1990s. He also acted on stage and on TV in Mexico, where he achieved modest stardom. In 1994, he appeared on the US TV soap opera General Hospital, playing a Puerto Rican singer.

In early 1999, after releasing several albums in Spanish, Martin performed “The Cup of Life” at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U.S. music scene. Following its success, Martin released “Livin' la Vida Loca”, which helped him attain enormous success worldwide; it is generally seen as the song that began the Latin pop explosion of 1999 and made the transition easier for other Spanish-speaking artists to move into the English-speaking market. Since its release, the song has sold over 8 million copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. His first English-language album (also titled Ricky Martin), has sold 22 million copies and is one of the best selling albums of all time. His other studio albums Me Amarás (1993), A Medio Vivir (1995), Vuelve (1998), Sound Loaded (2000), Almas del Silencio (2003), Life (2005), Música + Alma + Sexo (2011), and A Quien Quiera Escuchar (2015). In 2018, he portrayed Antonio D'Amico on The Assassination of Gianni American Crime Story for which he received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.
