I'm ... I'm ...
    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 leaving on a jet plane
  I don't know when I'll be back again
  Oh, babe, I hate to go
    I'm ...
    There's so many times I've let you down
  So many times I've played around
  I'll 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'll wear 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 leaving on a jet plane
  I don't know when I'll be back again
  Oh, babe, I hate to go
    Now the time has come to leave you
  One more time, oh, let me kiss you
  And 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 ...
    Oh, 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 leaving on a jet plane
  I don't know when I'll be back again
  Oh, babe, I hate to go
    And I'm leaving on a jet plane
  I don't know when I'll be back again
  Oh, babe, I hate to go
    But I'm leaving on a jet plane
  (Ah ah ah ah)
  Leaving on a jet plane
  (Ah ah ah ah)
  Leaving on a jet plane
  (Ah ah ah ah)
  Leaving on a jet plane
  (Ah ah ah ah)
  Leaving on a jet plane
  (Ah ah ah ah)
  Leaving on a jet plane
  (Ah ah ah ah)
  Leaving on a jet plane
  (Ah ah ah ah)
  Leaving on a jet plane
  (Ah ah ah ah)
  (Leaving) On a jet plane
