'cause i am leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
oh no no babe i hate to go
but i want cha'bring the one he say now
but i am leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
oh no no babe i hate to go
but i want cha'bring the one he say now
my bags are packed and 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 waiting and he's blowin' his horn
already i'm so lonely
i could die
well lemme say now
but i am leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
oh no no babe i hate to go
but i want cha'really wanna say that
but i am leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
oh no no babe i hate to go
but i want cha'bring the one he say now
so many times that i let you down
so many times that i fooled
i tell you know
that they don't mean a thing
but i want you really wanna say now
this song i sing
i'm gonna sing for you
but every time i pick
i'm gonna pick for you
when i come home
i'll gonna bring your wedding ring
but i want you really wanna say that
but i am leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
but no no babe i hate to go
but i want you really wanna say that
but i am leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
but no no babe i hate to go
but i want you really wanna say now
