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 morning
The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
And 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 let you down
So many times I've played around
But I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
And every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear 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
And close your eyes, I'll be on my way
And dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the time I won't have to say
So kiss me and smile for me
And tell me that you'll wait for me
And 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
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
