All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
There's so many times I've let you down
Now the time has come to leave you
I'm standing here outside your door
So many times I've played around
One more time, let me kiss you
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Dream about the days to come
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I won't have to leave alone
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring
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, babe, I hate to go.
