ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES LYRICS

"Leaving On A Jet Plane"

Originally by Chad Mitchell Trio

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside the door,
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
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.

[Chorus:]
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 leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

So many times I've let you down
There's so many times I've fucked around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
'Cause ev'ry place I go I'll think of you,
Ev'ry song I sing I'll sing for you,
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.

[Chorus]

Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time let me kiss you,
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 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, you never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Yeah
