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 is waiting, it’s bowing its horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
I hate to go
There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
But now you know that they don’t mean a thing
Every place I go I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you…
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time oh let me kiss you
Close your eyes and I will be on my way
Dream about the days to come…
So kiss me and smile for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go…
