The music video for the song was issued in 2 separate parts and was directed by Stevie Russell.
Oliver who is afflicted with a deformed face works in a company and is attracted to Mandy one of the co-workers, but she is cautious in developing any relation with him because of his deformity. In part 1 of the video, Oliver is bullied by three of his co-workers, who later on harass Mandy. But Oliver stands up for her pushing them back. Mandy warms up to this fellow because of his defense of her against the bullies. In part 2, Oliver forgets to wear his tie while going to work. He gets his tie but his dog slips through the open door and gets lost. The dog wanders the streets and also passes by a street band performing. Oliver discovers the loss of his dog when he returns home and immediately goes on a hunt for finding his dog and Mandy helps him in printing the posters that he distributes all over the locality. He eventually finds his dog in a farm land outside his locality.
