It does. It's what Michael wanted to express. Read Moonwalk. He wrote that Leave Me Alone is for the people who stalk him:
But what I'm really saying to people who are bothering me is: Leave me Alone.
Also:
Written and composed by Michael, “Leave Me Alone” expresses Michael’s frustration with his mistreatment by the media, a message that was further amplified by the song’s award-winning short film.

my favourite topics are femme fatale, empowerment, earth/humanity, loneliness and death
 
what was great about the early eighties is that although some of these tropes had already been developed, they were still fresh and new. it wasn’t predictable to the point where michael’s songs could be neatly categorised like this. once is enough. why continue covering the same ground?

Listen I'll Tell You How from the J5 also fits here:

How many times have you heard that sad story
About people who have no friends, yeah
Step by step they're on a lonesome road
Tears and saddened
Heart all they'll only know

Know you must have seen somebody
Walking with their head hanging down, yeah
Wishing for a friend to come their way
And hoping for a new and brighter day, woo
