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 good-bye.



But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn,

Taxi's waitin', 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 leavin' 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 think of you,

Every song I sing, I sing for you.

When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring. (I'll wear your 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 leavin' 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, let me kiss you.

Then 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 time 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.



I'm leavin' on a jet plane (leavin' on jet plane),

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

Leavin' on a jet plane, I don't know when I'll be back again.

Leavin' on a jet plane, I don't know when I'll be back again.

Oh, babe, I hate to go
