Incomplete
Dru Hill & Sisqo 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 to Dru Hill and Sisqo's song "Incomplete" tell the story of a wealthy man who seems to have everything in life - the fancy restaurants, the expensive cars, fame and fortune, and adoration from women. Despite his apparent success, he admits that he is feeling incomplete and lonely without the one woman he truly loves. He remembers every detail about her, from the way she smells to the sexy lingerie she wore. He reflects on the fact that he loved her too late and would give anything to hear her say that she'll stay. He acknowledges that all of his material possessions cannot replace her and that his life is truly incomplete without her.
The song speaks to the idea that true happiness and fulfillment cannot be attained through material wealth or success, and that the love and companionship of another person is the missing piece to completing one's life. The chorus repeats the message that without her, his life is incomplete, emphasizing the importance of a deep and meaningful connection with another person in achieving a fulfilling life.
