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 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 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 Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go There are 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 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 Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
