(It's only one more day)

Can you wait
My plane will be arriving shortly
Right there at the gate
I pray that you'll be waiting right there for me

This time could be what
We've both been searching for
Our whole lives waking up
I'm coming back for more

(Leave your baggage behind, you won't need it tonight, enjoy your flight)

J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I want to be (Just how I want to be baby)

J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I want to be (Just how I want to be baby)

We're so high
I'm watching all the clouds drift by below me
We should try
It's been so long since I made you cry

Long Live Love
I just can't get enough of you
I need that engine's push
It's gonna take me home to you

J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I want to be (Just how I want to be baby)

J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I want to be (Just how I want to be baby)

You were You were meant to be

(We will be dimming the lights for this evening's entertainment. Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy)

Home with me

J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I want to be (Just how I want to be baby)

You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I want to be (Just how I want to be baby)

You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are so good for me (Just how I want to be baby)

But you're gone
But you're gone
Don't let it go
Don't let it go
If you don't try
If you don't try
How will you know
How will you know
