Sadly, many folk aren't really interested in lyrics...much of popular music uses common/popular/fashionable sounds/words to carry a melody.
Some genres have narrative themes that are specific to them.
Personally I love lyrics and NEED to read them to feel I've found my way into a song.
I suspect songwriters like lyrics too - the ones in the User Showcase certainly like to have lyrics posted with a song.
The rule is that there there are no rules...well, not ones that should be followed by all writers all of the time at least.
Writing creatively is like brushing your teeth: some skills need to be learnt, applied and then a personal process develops over time...no two people brush the same, nor pass wind the same.
Just as grammar has a set of rules that are followed but ignored at need, (such as beginning a communication with "Okay, so..." which are, normally, used in a response or as a conjunction to an early part of a piece),so does any creative pursuit, craft, task or art.
Personally I would be disinclined to ask the O.P. for assistance until, at the very least, I had evidence of the O.P.'s proficiency and creativity at the task and had suspicions of click bait erased by time due to a developed online rapport with them.
FlyBys are a common thing around this site of late.
