First the words, then the fun:
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 goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waiting, 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 home again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I 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 your wedding ring
So, kiss me…etc.
So now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
And 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 that I won’t have to say
Kiss me…etc.
SO: What starts out as a tender, loving, somewhat sad story about a loving couple that has to say goodbye turns into a story about a guy who ADMITS HE CHEATS(so many times I’ve played around) AND THINKS IT'S OKAY because it was just sex (they don’t mean a thing)…and John Denver tries to sly it in and move on like it wasn’t even mentioned.
So, not letting this sly by and fully taking it into account, let’s take it from the top.
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 goodbye (because you might bring up the whole cheating thing and tell me not to do it again)
But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waiting, he’s blowing his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could die (but I won’t be lonesome for long as I’ve got a girl in every city I’m touring)
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me (while I’m off screwing everything that moves)
Hold me like you’ll never let me go (but do let me go so I can screw everything that moves)
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be home again (cause I may be cheating so much it’ll take longer than I thought)
Oh, babe, I hate to go (but not so much as I have endless girls waiting to screw me)
There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I played around
I tell you now they don’t mean a thing (and won’t when I play around again and again and again and…)
Every place I go I’ll think of you (when I’m not screwing all the women I’ll be screwing, whch will be mmost of the time, so I won't be thinking of you very much)
Every song I sing I’ll sing for you (except when I pretend it’s for a girl in the audience I want to screw…which will be most, if not all, songs, most, if not all, the time)
When I come back I’ll wear your wedding ring (until I take it off when I’m on the road screwing all the different girls I‘ll be screwing, so it’ll be off a lot)
So, kiss me…etc.
So now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone (which will be never because then I won’t be able to screw all the girls I screw when I’m away)
About the times that I won’t have to say
Kiss me and smile for me…etc.

I think it was a wise move to sing “Sunshine On My Shoulders” with Kermit on The Muppet Show
