All My bags are packed
I'm ready to go
Standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin'
it's early morn
the taxi is waitin'
and 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...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now they didn'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 you a 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

Because I'm leavin' on a jet plane
don't know when I'll be back again
leavin' on a jetplane dont know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go.....
