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 morning the taxis waitin'
he's blowin his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leavin' on a jetplane
I 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 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
Im a leavin' on a jetplane
I 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 times 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 I want 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
I'm leavin' on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Leavin' on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Leavin' on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe I hate to go.
