My songs generally tell a story or show an emotional progression, so the verse is almost always the place I start. My choruses are like my thesis statement, I usually write them last if at all so that they can encompass the idea of a song as a whole. I usually struggle with chord structure transitions from the verse to the chorus and bridges are particularly difficult, but the words aren't usually a problem. I agree, the most natural approach is probably going to produce the most listenable results... although I do like to write down random snatches of lyric that sound good while i improvise and then piece them together on paper so that I don't forget them. After all, how can I share my genius (ha) with people if I can't remember it?
