Music video

In the music video, Tina is seen in a red minidress, flirting with a lawyer. She plays games with him, such as chess and Scrabble in order to get his attention. For most of the video, Tina is seen hugging and leaning against a statue of the lawyer's leg. At one point in the video, Tina and the lawyer are seating on a big telephone headpiece, and Tina jumps up and down on one end of the phone sending the lawyer high into the air. Also, there is a scene in the video where Tina beats the lawyer with a baseball bat in order to get his attention. At the end of the video, Tina and the lawyer are seen walking together holding hands.
