I would like a list of songs about abandonment (e.g. Mother by John Lennon)

Hiya i've collated a list of various songs from various artists that
have written songs in the themes you have requested.

– Love don’t live here anymore by Faith Evans.

– Don’t Leave Me This Way
by The Communards. 

http://www.thelyricarchive.com/lyrics/stranded.html – Stranded by
Jeremiah Freed

http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~harel/cgi/page/htmlit?Heart_Stranded.html
–  (A personal favourite of mine very upbeat).

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/inxs/imjustaman.html – I’m Just a Man

http://www.steveball.com/words/lyrics/orphan.htm – Orphan a very
moving piece.

I hope you will find these useful and pertinent to what you are
looking for. I have as you will note put in songs about both being
abandoned by a parent and lover.

Take care, hope all is well.

Thanks to this answer I now realise that I should have been more
specific in my question. (I need to add "by a parent")
