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 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
'Cos I'm leavin' on a jet plane
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
But 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
'Cos I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Yes I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Yes I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
I'm leaving
Yes I'm leaving
