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. 
There's so many times 
I've let you down, 
So many times 
I've fooled around, 
I tell you now they don't mean a thing. 
Ev'ry song 
I sing I sing for you. 
Ev'ry girl me lay 
I lay for you 
When I come back 
I'll bring your wedding ring. 
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.
