I wanna be... plumb up to the topÂ…I'm so in love with 
you
[CHO] ON THE HIT PARADE OF LOVE.. I KNOW I'LL NEVER 
STOP
I'VE GOT A LONG LONG WAY TO CLIMBÂ…. BEFORE I REACH THE 
TOP
BUT IF I DOÂ… GET THERE SOONÂ… I'LL REALLY HAVE IT MADE
THEN I'LL KNOW I'M NUMBER ONEÂ….ON YOUR LOVER'S HIT 
PARADE
INSTRUMENTAL TURN-A-ROUND
