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
Now the dawn is breaking, 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 leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've played around
So many times I've let you down
I tell you now that 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, you'll wear my 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
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
