Unless you're one of the few in human history with perfect pitch, you're not going to hit every note up and down 88 keys. This is coming from someone who sings on a daily basis with an odd timbre in a good way. What makes my teeth cringe is when fans sing along live and aren't even close to the notes the vocalist is singing, let alone the key. To my ears it just sounds ugh. Other than that to answer your question, I am blessed with the ability to play my favorite tunes on the piano, bass and vocals (and in some retrospects, the guitar). Lyrics in comparison to poetry there is not much difference. You can have your metaphors, your similes, your personifications, music can be poetry just a soundtrack being delivered with the poem.
I look for creativity and uniqueness in music. as well as relevance. Not some pointless song about a boyfriend vs. girlfriend thing or how you wanna rob a store.
