My Number One was the Greek entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 in Kyiv performed by Helena Paparizou. This was Helena's second participation in the contest after a third-place finish in 2001 as part of the duo Antique.
Greece automatically qualified for the final thanks to its third-place finish in Istanbul the previous year. In the final, the song was performed 19th following Croatia and preceding Russia. At the close of voting, it won with 230 points and 10 top scores of 12, giving Greece its first win after 31 years of waiting.
It was voted the fourth-greatest Eurovision song of the first 50 years at the Congratulations gala later that same year.
Lyrics[]
You're my lover
Undercover
You're my sacred passion and I have no other
You're delicious
So capricious
If I find out you don't want me, I'll be vicious
Say you love me
And you'll have me
In your arms forever and I won't forget it
Say you miss me
Come and kiss me
Take me up to heaven and you won't regret it
You are the one
You're my number one
The only treasure I'll ever have
You are the one
You're my number one
Anything for you 'cause you're the one I love
You're my lover
Undercover
You're my sacred passion and I have no other
You're a fire
And desire
When I kiss your lips, you know, you take me higher
You're addiction
My conviction
You're my passion, my relief, my crucifixion
Never leave me
And believe me
You will be the sun into my raining season
Never leave me
And believe me
In my empty life you'll be the only reason
You are the one
You're my number one
The only treasure I'll ever have
You are the one
You're my number one
Anything for you 'cause you're the one I love
You're my lover
Undercover
You're my sacred passion and I have no other
You are the one
You're my number one
The only treasure I'll ever have
You are the one
You're my number one
Anything for you 'cause you're the one I love
You're my lover
Undercover
You're my sacred passion and I have no other
