verse 1
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
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
verse 2
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
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
chorus
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Coz I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
'Coz I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
verse 3
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
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
verse 4
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
When I come back
I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
verse 5
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Coz I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Coz I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
chorus
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
verse 6
I dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
verse 7
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Coz I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Coz I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
chorus
Ohhh babe, I hate to go
But I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
