Music video

The video shows Studdard dealing with his girlfriend (played by

America's Next Top Model Cycle 5 contestant Bre Scullark
) trying to change him from his celebrity life. Scenes in the video show her spending his credit card on a dining with her friends, and having the movers take his recording equipment into the garage.

A part of the song: "What if I talked about your face in the morning. 'Cause we know that you ain't cute in the morning," matches the girlfriend waking up with a bad hair day. They both become distraught like him signing autographs around her, and blocks her face during a party. The ending has Ruben packing her belongings in her luggage case and shows her the door out.
