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 breaking, its early morn
the taxi's waiting he's blowin' his horn
Already, I'm so lonesome I could die.

(Chorus)
So kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.

cuz I'm leaving on a jet plane,
dont know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe I hate ta go.
hate ta go

There's so many times I've let you down,
so many times I've played around, but
now u know, 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.

(Chorus)

Now the time has come to leave you,
one more time oh let me kiss you...
close your eyes and I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
I dont have to leave alone
about the times that I wont have to say...

(Chorus)

cuz I'm leaving on a jet plane,
dont know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe I hate ta go.

(unteo it fades)i'm leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
hate ta go.................
