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 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 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 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 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
Then close your eyes and I'll be on my wayDream 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
