I Wish My Smile Was Your Favourite Kind of Smile

There's a new trend, or maybe not so new trend, in English singers affecting a cockney London accent to appear more "common." I don't know if Kate Nash's is real or not, but I'm starting to love her. She's just so open and needy. I completely identify with it. Fine, I'm needy. I don't care. She looks like Jenny Lewis and is way cooler than Lily Allen. Take the following lyrics to "The Nicest Thing" - currently playing on repeat on my itunes. Isn't this exactly what every girl thinks? Some of us (unfortunately not me) are too grown up for sentimentality, but you know if you were thirteen you'd be listening to this and crying.

Kate Nash, The Nicest Thing

All I know is that you're so nice.
You're the nicest thing I've seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.

I wish I was your favourite girl.
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world.
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile.
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style.

I wish you couldn't figure me out.
But you always wanna know what I was about.
I wish you'd hold my hand when I was upset.
I wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met.

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot
That you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit
That nobody else could see.

Basically, I wish that you loved me.
I wish that you needed me.
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars,
Actually I meant three.

I wish that without me your heart would break.
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake.
I wish that without me you couldn't eat.
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep.

Look, all I know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen
And I wish that we could see if we could be something.
Yeah I wish that we could see if we could be something.
