[edit] Music video

The video shows a little obese Ruben Studdard, who recently lost weight thanks to a new diet. It has him dealing with his girlfriend 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. Features America's Next Top Model Cycle 5 Brittany "Bre" Scullark as the girlfriend.
