Bluu

He wrote a lot of songs on this subject. For your consideration:

.

  • So Blue
  • Still Waiting
  • It's Gonna Be Lonely
  • Gotta Broken Heart Again
  • Lady Cab Driver*
  • Computer Blue
  • Condition of the Heart
  • Anna Stesia
  • Arms of Orion
  • Solo**
  • Right Back Here In My Arms
  • My Computer
  • Until U're In My Arms Again
  • A Million Days
  • WHITECAPS
  • June

.

Also:

  • Gigolos Get Lonely Too (The Time) ***

.

* Not an obvious one, but he mentions feeling lonely and isolation. The loneliness drives him into the arms of a nameless woman driving the cab.

** loneliness at the end

*** according to Princevault: written by Prince but officially credited to Morris Day.

.

Dark
Breakdown
When You Were
How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?

Damn, there's a lot! I think we can also put 5 Women in this category because even though the guy in the song has 5 women, the one he really loves is gone.
