Do you ever go looking up song lyrics only to find that you have to choose between a ton of annoying websites cluttered with loud (both visually and playing irritating sound effects), flashy advertisements and sometimes not even giving accurate lyrics?

Some people have gone and created a wiki for lyrics that you can find at lyricwiki.org.  Now when I search for lyrics instead of typing "[name of song] lyrics" i type "[name of song] lyricwiki" to see if they have it first, and have even contributed a couple of lyrics for songs that were missing them.

Just wanted to let other people know this great site exists.

Yep! And even when the lyrics are wrong, all the other websites have the exact same (wrong) lyrics - like they just copy them from each other. So frustrating. Thanks for the info!
