songs Like "At 17" from Janis Ian- need some help

If anyone can come up with suggestions about songs where you learn that you are not pretty-something along the lines of Janis Ian's song. Theme suggests that you are a little jealous of those who are- maybe with a little angst. I really appreciate it! I'm sure there are some indie artists with such songs- I'm just not as familiar with them. Thanks to all responses!

Have you heard "Does This Smock Make My Hump Look Big?" by Bella Myass?

Of course I've heard of it- but it doesn't fit in this case. Thanks for the suggestion!

Not pretty? Maybe she's just different?

I love "Left of Center" by Suzanne Vega.

Thanks- but still need something a little less poppy (I loved both of those songs though). I'm still entertaining more suggestions!

I like Patty Duke's "Lonely Little In Between" from the movie Billie.

How about "Georgy Girl" by The Seekers? Great tune.
