Oh? Let's flip that: do you really not appreciate how phrasing can contribute to a piece of music? Why not just listen to instrumentals instead if that's what makes it for you?

A person's voice is an instrument, and lyrics are a part of a song. Completely dismissing them and declaring that they are not important at all is not really much different from declaring that melody and rhythm aren't important.

By the way: what do you think of opera? Do you think the lyrics are unimportant to that art form? Do you think it would have the exact same impact if there were no words at all, or if the words were nonsensical and did not tell a story? Do you think it would have the exact same impact if the words were spoken rather than sung? Sure, people can and do appreciate the great operas without understanding the words -- but that appreciation is magnified greatly when you actually do understand them, because they absolutely do matter.
