Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islam's University Records imprint, the group released two successful albums, Dru Hill and Enter the Dru, before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time Sisqó and Woody released solo albums. While Woody's Soul Music LP was a moderate success in the gospel music industry, Sisqó's debut album, Unleash the Dragon, and its hit singles, "Thong Song" and "Incomplete", were major pop successes, and established Sisqó as a household name outside Dru Hill. Sisqó's second album, Return of Dragon, did not sell as well.
In 2002, by then part of the Def Soul record label, the group reunited and added fifth member Rufus "Scola" Waller to the lineup for their third album, Dru World Order, whose underperformance led to the group being dropped from Def Soul. In 2009, the group signed to Kedar Entertainment Group and released their fourth album, InDRUpendence Day, the following year, with new member Tao taking the place of the again departed Woody.
Incomplete
Dru Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything in this world that a man could want
I got a bank account bigger than the law should allow
Still I'm lonely now
Pretty Faces from the covers of a magazine
From their covers to my covers want to lay with me
Fame and Fortune still can't find, just a grown man runnin' out of time
I don't want to be a lonely fool
All of the women, all the expensive cars, all the money don't amount to you
So I can make believe I have everything, but I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Without you girl my life is incomplete
Listen
Your perfume, your sexy lingerie
Girl I remember it just like it was on yesterday
A Thursday you told me you had fallen in love, I wasn't sure that I was
It's been a year Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall
But being without you just ain't livin' ain't livin'at all
If I could travel back in time, I'd relive the days you were mine
Even though it seems I have everything
I don't want to be a lonely fool
All of the women, all the expensive cars, all of the money don't amount to you
I can make believe I have everything,but I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete
That without you girl
I just can't help lovin' you
But I loved you much too late
I'd give anything and everything to hear you say, that you'll stay
Even though it seems I have everything
I don't want to be a lonely fool
All of the women, all of the expensive cars, all of the money don't amount to you
(you can have it all) I can make believe I have everything,
but I can't pretend that I don't see (Just give me my baby)
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Even though it seems I have everything
I don't want to be a lonely fool
All of the women, all the expensive cars, all the money don't amount to you
So I can make believe I have everything, but I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Without you girl
Without you girl
Without you girl you girl my life is incomplete
Without you girl you girl my life is incomplete
Oh yeah
My life is incomplete
Oh yeah, yeah
The lyrics of Dru Hill's song "Incomplete" describe a wealthy man who feels unfulfilled despite having everything that he could want in life, such as fancy restaurants, beautiful women, fame, and a large bank account. This person longs for the love of a specific woman who he cannot forget, despite the fact that she no longer appears to be in his life. He reminisces about moments spent with this person and knows that his life feels "incomplete" without her in it.
Overall, the song addresses the importance of love and companionship over material wealth and possessions. The singer of the song recognizes that although people may think he has everything, he knows deep down he is missing the love he once had with a particular person. The song's theme is relatable to many people who have experienced heartbreak or loneliness despite their successes.
Line by Line Meaning
Bright Lights, Fancy Restaurants
The material possessions and status that come with success
Everything in this world that a man could want
An abundance of wealth
I got a bank account bigger than the law should allow
An overwhelming amount of money
Still I'm lonely now
Despite having everything, feeling isolated and empty
Pretty Faces from the covers of a magazine
Superficial and unfulfilling relationships based on looks
From their covers to my covers want to lay with me
Desire for physical intimacy without genuine connection
Fame and Fortune still can't find, just a grown man runnin' out of time
Despite success, time is running out and happiness remains elusive
Even though it seems I have everything
Perception of abundance and success
I don't want to be a lonely fool
Desire for genuine connection and love
All of the women, all the expensive cars, all the money don't amount to you
Material possessions do not compare to a meaningful relationship
So I can make believe I have everything, but I can't pretend that I don't see
Attempting to convince oneself of abundance but aware of emptiness
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Portrayal of romantic relationship as essential for fulfillment
Your perfume, your sexy lingerie
Memories of romantic intimacy
Girl I remember it just like it was on yesterday
Vivid remembrances of past moments with a romantic partner
A Thursday you told me you had fallen in love
Precise memories of a significant moment in the relationship
I wasn't sure that I was
Uncertainty in early stages of loving relationship
It's been a year Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall
Time has passed and seasons have changed
But being without you just ain't livin' ain't livin'at all
Emptiness and lack of fulfillment without beloved partner
If I could travel back in time, I'd relive the days you were mine
Desire to relive the past and recapture a loving relationship
I just can't help lovin' you
Unresolved feelings of love for the partner
But I loved you much too late
Regret for not recognizing and appreciating love sooner
I'd give anything and everything to hear you say, that you'll stay
Willingness to do anything to rekindle the lost relationship
Without you girl my life is incomplete
Essential nature of romantic partner for personal fulfillment
Oh yeah
Expression of longing and desire
My life is incomplete
Acknowledgment of personal emptiness and desire for fulfillment
Oh yeah, yeah
Reiteration of desire for fulfillment
