To start the clip, John Waite is sitting in a chair, and after seeing a picture of a woman with whom he is yet in dear, he, frustrated, slaps the lamp in a higher place him causing information technology to swing back and along and begins to sing the song. When he opens his bedchamber door, a woman playfully jumps into his arms and they encompass falling back onto the bed. Afterward, Waite watches through a fissure in the door as the woman angrily throws her clothes into her suitcase. She pushes through the door to go out him and it hits him in the face full strength as she storms past him, away. Pained at her emotional and physical assault, he sadly remembers being at one of her photo shoots. Trying to be absurd, Waite leans on a lighting stand but misses and stumbles. Seeing this, she lovingly laughs at his fumbling. Dorsum to the present, Waite tries to call her from a phone booth, but when the adult female finally picks upwards the telephone, her only connexion is to a dangling telephone in an empty telephone booth. Waite is gone. He laments about "I own't missin' you at all" as he walks down the city street but to see a moving-picture show of the woman on a paper. He goes into a bar. There, an older woman slides onto the stool next to him and tries to flirt with him, only for sheer sorrow shows he is not interested and then goes habitation again notwithstanding pining for the woman. He tries again to telephone call her only his anger and frustration gets the better of him and he smashes the phone into pieces. When she finally comes to his door and knocks, he doesn't respond, as he doesn't hear her knock over the music playing on his earphones he had put on just earlier her first knock. She leans confronting the door gently touching it and, with a deep jiff, she turns and leaves every bit tears flow down her face.^[9]
