| 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 goodbye | |
| But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn | |
| The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' 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'll never let me go | |
| Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane | |
| Don't know when I'll be back again | |
| Oh baby, 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'll think of you | |
| Every song I sing, I'll sing 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'll never let me go | |
| Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane | |
| Don't know when I'll be back again | |
| Oh babe, I hate to go | |
| Guitar Solo | |
| Now the time has come to leave you | |
| One more time let me kiss you | |
| 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 | |
| So kiss me and smile for me | |
| Tell me that you'll wait for me | |
| Hold me like you'll never let me go | |
| Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane | |
| Don't know when I'll be back again | |
| Oh baby, I hate to go | |
| Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane | |
| Don't know when I'll be back again | |
| Oh baby, I hate to go |
