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
The taxi's waiting', he's blowing' 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's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every 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 wedding 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 goNow the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes, I'll be on my way
Dream 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 baby, I hate to goguitar solo'Cause I'm leaving' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
