All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here
Outside your door
I hate to wake you up
To say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking
It's early morn
Taxi's waiting
He's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could cry
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know
When I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
There's so many times
I've let you down
So many times
I've played around
I tell you now
That they don't mean a thing
Cause every place I go
I'll think of you
Every song I sing
I'll sing for you
When I come back
I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know
When I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Now the time
Has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
And I'll be on my way
Dream about
The days to come
When I won't have
To leave alone
About the time
I won't have to say
Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know
When I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Yeah, I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know
When I'll be back again
