Hello,

Since my name came up, I thought I would respond. You don't actually "sell" lyrics, or songs at all for that matter.At least to no one reputable. The music industry revolves around "finished products" only, that is music and lyrics in some sort of recorded form.

There are companies that promise to "put lyrics to music" but that is more of a scam to charge for substandard demos and hook the writer into paying all kinds of money.

Most writers here write both lyrics and music although their are people that specialize in one or the other.

With hundreds of thousands and even millions of completed songs out there, having lyric only's end up more in a poetry vein than actual songs. There are however millions of potential co-writers around, many that can be found in most of the clubs, bars and hotels around Nashville. Usually your waiter,the cook, the bus driver, or the guy who cleans the restrooms are very capable songwriters as well. Finding those are usually not much trouble.

To my knowledge, there are no one of any repute "buying' song lyrics or melodies. Too much chance of liabilities and too many laws against it.
