leaving on a jet plane
Singer: me first and the gimme gimmes
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 good-bye. 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
babe
i hate to go. so many times i've let you down
there's so many times i've fucked around
i tell you now they don't mean a thing. 'cause ev'ry place i go i'll think of you
ev'ry song i sing i'll 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
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 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
you 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. yeah
