For me, It depends on the song and the artist.
Like if i listen to Bob dylan i pay more attention to the lyrics than the musical arrangement.
But with other artist (lets say my fav the pixies) it's not really about what he says in the lyrics is how he sings them (although his lyrics are pretty good)
Recently im forming the habit to look for videos of a song with the lyrics already in it, if the lyrics are good for me they enhance the song in a major way.
If not, they better have a good musical arrangement or else i won't like song.
For the most part, I think a good song arrangement is more important than the lyrics.
