[Verse 1]
I listen to the sound of the rain fallin' down my window
Prayin' for a gentle wind
To bring my baby back again
Tryna be strong but I'm not getting any stronger
Loneliness is tearing apart this heart of mine

I lie awake
'Cause I can't take
Another night lonely
It's been too long
I can't hold on no more

[Chorus]
Leavin' on the next plane out
'Cause I gotta see my baby
It's been too long
Since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
'Til he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with my baby

[Verse 2]
Talking on the phone but that don't make it any better
Nothing's gonna ease this pain
Until I'm in his arms again
Runnin' down the stairs there's a taxi that's waiting for me
Loneliness, I'm gonna leave you far behind
I'd walk for days
Through pouring rain
Anything to be with him
It's been too long
I can't be strong no more

[Chorus]
Leavin' on the next plane out
'Cause I gotta see my baby
It's been too long
Since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
No, no, no, no
'Til he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
I gotta be with my baby

[Bridge]
Gotta be with him
Gotta be by his side
Gonna be with him
My heart's made up my mind

[Chorus]
I'm leavin' on the next plane out
'Cause I gotta see my baby
It's been too long
Since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
No, no, no
'Til he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again

[Bridge]
It's been too long
Since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
'Til he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me

[Bridge B]
I gotta be with my baby
Gonna be with my baby
Gonna take the next plane
Or the next train
Gotta get there
Gotta see my baby

[Chorus]
And nothing's gonna stop me
From leavin' this time
Leavin' on the next plane out
Leavin' on the next plane out

[Outro]
Next plane
Next train
