I'm leaving on a jetplane Songtext

von Janis Joplin

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 good bye.

But the dawn is breaking
It's early morn,
The taxi's waitin?
He's blowing his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome
I could die.

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 leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go.

There's 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'll think of you
Every song I sing
I'll sing for you
When I come back
I'll wear you're 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.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't 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
Then 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 times I 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.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go.

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go.
