Yes, I am leaving on a jet plane
Don't know if I'll be back again
Say I want you babe, I hate to go
But I want to really want to say that

I am leaving on a jet plane
Don't know if I'll be back again
Say I want you babe, I hate to go
But I want to really want to say that

All 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

The dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waiting and he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonely, I can die
But I want to really want to say that

I am leaving on a jet plane
Don't know if I'll be back again
Say I want you babe, I hate to go
But I want to really want to say that

I am leaving on a jet plane
Don't know if I'll be back again
Say I want you babe, I hate to go
Say I want to really want to say that

So many times, yes I let you down
So many times that I fooled around
I tell you now that they don't mean a thing
But I want you to really wanna say that

Every song I sing, yes I sing for you
Every girl me lay, yes I lay for you
When I come home I'll gonna bring your wedding ring
Say I want to really wanna say that

I am leaving on a jet plane
Don't know if I'll be back again
Say I want you babe, I hate to go
But I want to really want to say that

I am leaving on a jet plane
Don't know if I'll be back again
Say I want you babe, I hate to go
But I want to really want to say that

And kiss me and smile for me
And tell me that you'll wait for me
And hold me like you'll never let me go
But I want to really want to say that

I am leaving on a jet plane
Don't know if I'll be back again
Say I want you babe, I hate to go
But I want to really want to say that

I am leaving on a jet plane
Don't know if I'll be back again
Say I want you babe, I hate to go
But I want to really want to say that
