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 morning
The taxi is waiting, he is blowing his hornAlready I'm so lonesome, I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
I'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There is 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 think of you
Every song I sing I sing for you
When I come back I bring you a wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
I'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
