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 good-bye

But the dawn is breakning, it's early morn

The taxi's waiting, he's blowing 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 leaving 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

And 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 wear 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 leaving 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, oh, let me kiss you

And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come

When I won't have to leave alone

About the times that I won't have to say



Oh, 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 leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh Babe, I hate to go



I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh Babe, I hate to go



'Cos I'm leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane (repeat to fade)
