Lyrics
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 morn'
Taxi's waiting, 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 a-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
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing (they don't mean a thing)
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring (I'll wear your 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
I'm a-leavin' on a jet plane
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 time, 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 time I won't have to say (I won't have to say)
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 a-leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Leavin' on a jet plane
(Leavin' on a jet plane) I don't know when I'll be back again
(I don't know when I'll be back again) leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
