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 breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die So 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 There'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 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 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
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 So 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
