LyricWiki is a free site which is a single source where anyone can go to get reliable lyrics for any song from any artist "without being hammered by invasive ads." (- emphasis on invasive: it has ads on the site.)

LyricWiki contains lyrics to more than 1.420.000 songs. Categorizes by artist, album, song-name, genre and hometown of band. Some songs also have common interpretations of the meanings.

This is probably the largest mediawiki on the internet other than wikipedia (source source 2).
