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
