Thanks.

Thank you, but as I said, I had some songs where Google search doesn't find anything.

If you actually clicked the link, and then you actually read the results, you'd have seen that not one of the sites listed is Google.

So your question does not directly concern MusicBee?
Then it should probably me moved to 'Beyond MusicBee'.

Are the songs you can't find lyrics for in a specific language different from English?

Songs are in English.
Yes, we can move it to 'Beyond MusicBee'. I apologize for posting in a wrong forum.

Then, if they can't be found using google or other search engines, somebody will probably need to transcribe and post/share them on da internetz, so they can then be found and used by others.
(maybe you have some time to waste?  ;-)

Very odd. Then just enter "where to find song lyrics" as a search term.

I tried searching that way but still no luck with finding some particular lyrics. That's why I've been looking for some lyrics forum, where you can ask other people for help. I found just one but they don't register new members.

Lyrics are often available on bandcamp.com for the stuff they sell and I don't think those are site-indexed anywhere.  Search there for the artist which if they are on bandcamp will turn up links to view albums/tracks.  Many times, but not always, mousing to the right from a track name reveals a "lyrics" link that will show the lyrics below it:



Depending on the genre of the song there are tons of lyrics on metal-archives.com, break down to tracks and look for a "show lyrics" link to the right:



You could also take a look at Foobar with the Lyrics Show Panel 3 and the 3rd-party MultiDB lyrics plugin which include searches at Deezer, etc.
