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 goodbyeBut the dawn is breaking, it's early morning
The taxi is waiting, he is blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome, I could crySo kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me goI'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to goThere is so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thingEvery place I go I think of you
Every song I sing I sing for you
When I come back I wear your wedding ringSo kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me goI'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to goNow the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes and I'll be on my wayDream about the days to come
I won't have to leave alone
And I won't have to saySo kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me goI'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
I'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back againI'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
