Thanks to all who threw their opinions in the ring -- see, we can have a relatively civil discourse on controversial topics!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being lyrics only, in fact lyrics are what make good songs great. The music and melody pull you in, but the lyrics are what you sing along with. Obviously there are genres where lyrics don't matter, but hits in those genre at least some kind of amazing synergy between the music and words.
Nonetheless, I still feel strongly that non-musical lyricists should go out and get a keyboard (even just a $100 one) and try to learn some rudimentary music. It might turn out to be a total waste of time -- or you might discover a talent that you never knew you had. In the long run, I bet it would make you an even better songwriter.
