Music video

The song's video was directed by Jon Small and released in late 1992. Set in a courtroom, it features actor and comedy writer Pat McCormick playing a courtroom judge. The song actually starts about a minute into the video, after the judge calls Reba up to testify against her witness (who is accused of cheating on her) She angrily throws things at him in anger, and the courtroom eventually starts to dance as the sax solo plays. In the end, Reba wins the case and angrily storms out of the room, as the defendant shakes hands with the judge.
