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
The taxi is waiting, he is blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome, I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
I hate to go
There is 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
Every place I go I think of you
Every song I sing I sing for you
When I come back I wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
let me go
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
I hate to go
I hate to go
I hate to go
I hate to go
Cause I'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
