原唱：John Denver《Babe, I Hate to Go》（1966）
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
Taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry
(refrain)
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I dont know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There 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
Everyplace I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring 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
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I dont know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
And close your eyes, I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the time when 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
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I dont know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
