Oh, my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go.
I'm standing here outside your door.
Hate to wake you now to say goodbye.
The dawn is breaking,
it's early morn
Tax i's waiting,
he's blowing his horn
Already I am 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
Cos I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Oh, so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you babe,
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
Cos I'm leaving on a jet plane,
jump nowhere
I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time please let me kiss you
Close your eyes, I'll be on my way
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
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
Cos I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when
I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Cos I'm leaving on a jet plane
Leavin' on a jet plane
Leavin' on a jet plane
Leavin' on a jet plane
