The woman angrily tells him all the good things she's done for him and expresses disgust and disappointment that he would respond by cheating on her. She then tells the other woman that she can have him and that she (the protagonist) no longer wants anything to do with her now ex. Music videoThe video for the song was directed by Michael Salomon. It shows Morgan pulling up in her car to a cafe on a very rainy day. She attempts to open the door, but doesn't once she looks through the window and sees her boyfriend with another woman. She eventually goes in and confronts him, and once he tries to apologize, she angrily pulls her arm back and walks away crying. She sings the last words of the song in her car before driving away. The other woman, having seen the drama unfold between Lorrie and her boyfriend, eventually gets up from the table herself and leaves, leaving the boyfriend with nobody. Lorrie is also shown performing the song while outside the cafe, at times banging on the window to show emotion.
