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 breaking
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.
'Cause 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 let you down
so many times I've played around
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.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
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
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 times 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.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when I'll be back again. Oh
babe
I hate to go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when I'll be back again. Oh
babe
I hate to go.
