His 2003 self-titled album featured the R&B hit song "Crazy", and its accompanying video received relatively heavy airplay on BET. Other tracks from his debut album include "Beautiful U R", ballad "In Your Hands", and the jazz-infused "October Sky", featuring Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Roy Hargrove. Despite the struggle to attain commercial success, as radio stations found difficulty categorizing the singer/songwriter's unique sound, Javier's critical acclaim and touring success garnered him a second Capitol Records release, titled Left of Center (2006). It featured the single "Indecent Proposal" and a notable collaboration with Anthony Hamilton, with whom Javier co-wrote and performed the track "Count on Me". In 2011, Javier regained noteriety in the United States as the winner of the television show The Voice.

Is This Love
Javier Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever had a woman
That commands your attention
When she?s in your presence
And Lord her beauty
Belongs on every page inside of the Essence
She?ll make you blow your cool
Like summer time in a 69 Buick
And the crazy thing about it

I love when she do it
Can somebody tell me

[Chorus]
Is this love I don?t know
I don?t wanna let it go
But I know it feels good to me
Is this love I?m not sure cause
I don?t don?t know the symptoms for it
But I know it feels good to me

Every time she comes around my emotions are so aroused
And if I could I would get with her now
Please forgive me for speakin? out loud but
When she gets close to me
She puts my mind on freeze
To the point I can hardly speak
Can somebody tell me please

[Chorus]

Can someone please tell me
Is this how loves supposed to be
Cause I like it and it feels so good to me
Can someone please tell me
Is this how loves supposed to feel
Cause I like it and loved it when she?s here

[Chorus]

Line by Line Meaning

Have you ever had a woman
Have you ever met a woman

That commands your attention
Who demands all of your focus

When she's in your presence
Whenever she's around you

And Lord her beauty
And oh my, her attractiveness

Belongs on every page inside of the Essence
Deserves to be photographed for all the world to see

She'll make you blow your cool
She'll provoke you to lose your calm

Like summer time in a 69 Buick
Like driving a classic convertible on a hot day

And the crazy thing about it
The strange thing is

I love when she do it
I love it when she does that

Can somebody tell me
Can someone please explain to me

Is this love I don't know
I'm uncertain if this is love

I don't wanna let it go
I don't want to lose it

But I know it feels good to me
But I know it brings me joy

Is this love I'm not sure cause
I don't know if this is really love

I don't don't know the symptoms for it
I don't know the signs of love

But I know it feels good to me
But I know it makes me happy

Every time she comes around my emotions are so aroused
Whenever she's near, my feelings become very intense

And if I could I would get with her now
And if I had the chance, I would start a relationship with her right away

Please forgive me for speaking out loud but
I'm sorry for being so forward, but

When she gets close to me
When she's near me

She puts my mind on freeze
I become speechless due to shock and awe

To the point I can hardly speak
I'm almost unable to say anything

Can somebody tell me please
Can someone please explain to me

Can someone please tell me
Can someone please explain to me

Is this how love's supposed to be
Is this how true love is meant to feel

Cause I like it and it feels so good to me
Because I enjoy it and it brings me great pleasure

Can someone please tell me
Can someone please explain to me

Is this how love's supposed to feel
Is this how true love is meant to be experienced

Cause I like it and loved it when she's here
Because I enjoy it and loved it when she's around

[Chorus]
[Refrain]
