Music video

The video begins with Mraz in a bank, waiting in line to deposit the coins in his piggy bank. He sees the teller (Lizzy Caplan of CBS's The Class, Mean Girls, and Cloverfield) and instantly falls in love with her. He tries several times to get her as his teller and fails miserably on all counts, first spilling the coins from his piggy bank, then cutting in line only to have her close her window just as he gets to it.

On his final try he manages to reach her and passes her a note that says, "Give me what I want. <3" Her boss comes over and, thinking the note is an attempted robbery, pushes the alarm button to alert the police. Papers begin to fly around the bank, and the customers and staff begin to dance. The police arrive and they too begin to dance as well before escorting Mraz out in handcuffs, slamming him against the hood of the police car. The teller comes running out of the bank, still holding his piggy bank, and watches him being taken away.

In jail, Mraz shares a cell with the man he previously cut in line. At the end of the video, he returns to the bank to find the teller. He looks in the window and doesn't see her, but when he turns around, she has pulled up in a car. He gets in and they drive away together, and the video ends with heart frame around the car as it drives away, the words "The End" flashing across the screen.
