Music video

The video opens with Lambert lying in bed, calling out of work, as she sings the lines, "I don't wanna go to work / I don't wanna go to sleep / I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna do it." Various dogs are interspersed throughout the video, with Lambert driving one around in her car, walking on the beach, and other activities. Lambert's girlfriend, Michelle Chamuel, makes an appearance in the video. The final 20 seconds of the video show the credits for both the song and clip, along with a message encouraging viewers to adopt animals or rescue them.
