All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go
I'm standin' 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

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

So many times, I've let you down
There's so many times, I've ***ked around
I tell you, now, they don't mean a thing

'Cause 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 mec
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 and 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

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me, that you'll wait for me
Hold me, like you'll never let me, 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
