Tony Hymas appears as the video's antagonist; in various scenes dressed in various disguises he makes unsuccessful attempts to assassinate, or maim Diamond'due south graphic symbol in gild to win the affections of the woman. He is finally successful when, posing equally a car dealer, he lures Diamond into a second hand car (a white Fiat 128), which is revealed to exist on the cease of a crane in a scrapyard being lifted up, whilst Hymas walks away with the girl as the camera zooms out and fades to black.

The functioning for the German language television show Bananas was set in a dressing room at a club with Diamond performing the vocal as he professes his love to a adult female sitting adjacent to him.

The TopPop performance of the vocal is set in a studio with a big statue in the background. Diamond sings to twin sisters seated next to him with Hymas in the foreground on the synthesisers.
