(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)

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 breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could {cry} (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...

('Coz) I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go...

(Ah-ah, ah-ah)

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
(but) I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
{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'll wear your wedding ring...
{I'll wear your ring}

[repeat *]

([instrumental interlude])

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes{,} (and) I'll be on my way...

Dream about the days to come
when I won't have to leave alone
About the times (that) I won't have to say:
{I won't have to say}

(Oh,) kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go...

('Coz) I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
(Oh babe, I hate to go...)

(I'm) leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
(Oh babe, I hate to go...)

{Leavin' on a jet plane}
{I don't know when I'll be back again}
{Oh babe, I hate... to go...}

(I'm leavin' on a jet plane)
(Leavin' on a jet plane)
(Leavin' on a jet plane)
(Leavin' on a jet plane)
(Leavin' on a jet plane)
(Leavin' on a jet plane)
(Leavin' on a jet plane)
(Leavin' on a jet plane)
(On a jet plane...)
