As it turns out, Ed, the "Round the Way Mix" of "I Adore Mi Amor" is currently available on two CDs in the database! The single version (a.k.a. the "U.S.A. Mix") contains Spanish verses from 1:03 to 1:23, while the "Round the Way Mix" features English verses during that same time span. The latter version also contains an additional edit later in the song.

Ed informs me he also has Color Me Badd's "I Adore Mi Amor" on cassette single and it too features the "U.S.A. Mix" running 4:50 just like on the commercial CD single.

I'm confused about this one. The commercial CD single has the same track listing as the promo that Ed mentioned, just in a different order. I just finished listening to the three versions, and they don't seem to match up to Todd's comments in the second post. Here is what I found:
Color Me Badd "I Adore Mi Amor" (Commercial CD Single, 9 40154-2)
1. USA Mix - Runs 4:49, Spanish lyrics only from 3:23-3:54, not 1:03-1:23 like Todd Mentioned
2. International Mix - Runs 4:49, Spanish lyrics from 1:03-1:23 and 3:23-3:55
3. Round The Way Mix - Runs 4:26, not 3:50 like Ed mentioned. Spanish lyrics from 0:40 to 1:00 and 3:00-3:32. This version starts with instruments as opposed to the A Cappella intro on the first two.
So with Ed and Todd's comments, there's apparently 2 versions each of the USA Mix and the Round The Way Mix.
Additionally, there is an All-English edit (with the obvious exception of the words "Mi Amor") that appears on the CD "Only Rock N' Roll: #1 Radio Hits 1990-1994" that runs 3:48. I don't know where this version originated from, as it doesn't appear to have been released anywhere as a promo or commercial single. Most of the single configurations on Discogs point to the International Mix as the A-Side of the single in most countries, whereas the USA Mix was the A-Side in the US.
There also exists an All-Spanish version titled, "Yo Adoro Mi Amor". This was released as a commercial Cassette Single in the US and as a promo CD Single (which I've been looking several years for). It was the 2nd #1 single of 1991 to have a Spanish version released as a separate commercial single in the US, after Wilson Phillips' "You're In Love" ("Otro Amor" in Spanish).

Dan,
Are you sure that the Only Rock N' Roll: #1 Radio Hits
1990-1994 doesn't match Ed's CD?

I just pulled my promo CD, and it has misprinted times:
PRO-CD-4943
1. Round The Way Mix (listed 4:27; actual 3:49)
2. U.S.A. Mix (listed 4:52; actual 4:50)
3. International Mix (listed 4:49; actual 4:50)
So, it appears the commercial single's "Round The Way Mix" is different than what's on the promo. Also, I don't hear any Spanish verses on the promo CD's "Round The Way Mix," other than the chorus (song title), so this likely matches up with the version on Only Rock N' Roll, which would be a promo/DJ edit.

Oh, I do also have "Yo Adoro Mi Amor" on promo CD single. I picked it up several years ago, and it's still sealed. If need be, I can unseal it to post the details.

John and Aaron,
That's what I suspected. So either they mislabelled the Round The Way mix on the promo, or there's just two separate versions with the same title.

I also checked my copy of the song's parent album, "C.M.B.", and the version there appears to be the same as the International Mix, with the same running time and Spanish lyrics in the same parts of the song as listed earlier.

One of the reasons I've been looking for that promo is because years ago, I used to get Color Me Badd confused sometimes with All-4-One, another Male, R&B, Multi-Racial quartet. And they also had 3 Top 10 hits like Color Me Badd did. All-4-One recorded all 3 of their top 10 hits in Spanish as well, and all three of them were on a Commercial CD Single that I don't think is listed on Discogs at all (I checked, but couldn't find it). It has the same artwork as the commercial single for "I Can Love You Like That", but has the the title instead as "Yo Te Voy A Querer". I found the CD Single of the Spanish Version on Amazon years ago. There was a commercial Cassette Single for the Spanish Version as well, which I have. I guess because I have that CD Single, the collector in me feels like I need to have "Yo Adoro Mi Amor" to feel complete, lol. That plus the fact that I have the Cassette Single of it and I like the Spanish Version, anyway.
