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 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 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 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 leavin` 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
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 say
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
Cause I`m leavin` on a jet plane
Don`t know when I`ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
