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 good-bye.
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.
(chorus)
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.
Ev`ry place I go I`ll think of you,
Ev`ry song I sing I`ll sing for you,
When I come back I`ll bring your wedding ring.
(chorus)
Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time let me kiss you,
Then 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 that I won`t have to say:
(chorus)
I`m leavin` on a jet plane,
Don`t know when I`ll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
(repeat many many times)
