Music video

A music video was released for the song, directed by Peter Zavadil. The main performance takes place in the middle of a big city street, with Messina performing with her band behind her. Also included, are scenes of her walking down a sidewalk while being followed by a persistent man, to whom she directs the spoken lines of the song. Other scenes feature her in an alleyway alone singing, and in a room with a huge glass mirror. During the parts of the song where the male's parents and therapist are mentioned, Messina is also seen with the man in both situations. It was filmed on 2 very cold days in February 2005, in downtown Los Angeles, CA.
