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
