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.

Javier Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do do do do do dodo do do do do dodo
Ooooooohhh oooohhh oooooohhhhhh

Goin in, I knew what I was gettin into
Never thought I'd be so predictable, so weak
Somethin' bout the way she looked at me
It was the day, she was lookin out the window as she drove by
Lip gloss smile and brown eyes

Everything thing stopped (pause)
(She was so hot)

(The angle of her chin
The color of her skin)

When she saw me stare
She acted like she didn't care
(I didn't say a word, butmy intensions were)
To touch her and kiss her
I never thought forever

Have you ever known a girl
Who could make your world go in slow motion
Kinda like a movie, that's the way she do me
Have you ever met somebody who could stop the hands of time and make you wait
Make you love in slow motion

Ordinarily, I woulda bounced by day three
On to the next girl, scroll to delete on my cell phone screen
But a voice kept callin me
It was the way, she would whisper in my ear that I was her man
The slightest little touch of her hand
Everything stops
She's got me high

(The angle of her chin
The color of her skin)

And when she saw me stare
She acted like she didn't care
I didn't say a word, but my intensions were
To touch her, and kiss her

Have you ever known a girl
Who could make your world go in slow motion
Kinda like a movie, that's the way she do me
Have you ever met somebody who could stop the hands of time and make you wait
Make you love in slow motion

She is truly something
I can't belive that I'm love and
She feels the same way (same way)
She is so amazing
My heart ain't never breaking
Cuz she's my baby

I could go on for days (yea yea, yea yea)
Talkin bout her sexy ways ( yea yea, yea yea)
Kinda girl that makes me weak (yea yea, yea yea)
Can't believe she wants to be with me

Have you ever known a girl
Who could make your world go in slow motion
Kinda like a movie, that's the way she do me
Have you ever met somebody who could stop the hands of time and make you wait
Make you love in slow motion

Have you ever known a girl
Who could make your world go in slow motion
Kinda like a movie, that's the way she do me

Have you ever met somebody who could stop the hands of time and make you wait
Make you love in slow motion
