The music video starts with shots of the New York skyline, the Staten Island Ferry, and character close-ups. Madonna is seen walking along a lane. Then it shows her thinking about her father, played by actor Danny Aiello, and how much he loves her. She then sees her boyfriend, played by actor Alex McArthur, coming along. The images are juxtaposed with shots of a more glamorous Madonna dancing and singing in a small, darkened studio. Madonna then moves away from her friends (Debi Mazar and Bianca Hunter), who warn her about her boyfriend. She and her boyfriend spend a romantic evening together on a barge where they reflect upon their lives after watching an elderly couple. Madonna then finds out that she is pregnant and decides to keep the baby. After much hesitation, she tells her father and he is shocked and leaves the room to think about the situation, and eventually accepts the pregnancy. Afterward, father and daughter hug each other.
