Intro: All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go I'm standing here outside the door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn' The taxi's waitin', he's blown 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 Hold me like you never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving 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 that they don't mean a thing Every place I go I'll think of you, every song I sing I sing for you When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring 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 times I won't have to say I`m leaving on a jet plane, don`t know when I`ll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
