All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbyeBut the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome, I could dieSo kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to goThere are 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 thingEvery place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your weddin' ringSo kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to goThe time has come to leave you alone
Let me kiss you so close your eyes
And honey, I'll be on my wayDream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to saySo kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Leaving on a jet plane
