All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
Standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
The taxi is waitin'
And he's blowin' 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

'Cause I'm leavin' 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 didn'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 you a 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

Because I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Leavin' on a jetplane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe I hate to go
