Spotify doesn't, and even for Apple Music lyrics are a somewhat recent addition afaik.

Spotify does, though not for all. And… those lyrics come from Genius, so yeah.

I just tried with 5 songs and I couldn't get lyrics for a single one. It did show some trivia ("Behind the Lyrics") for English songs but not the lyrics themselves. Could it be that they don't actually have the rights to show lyrics?
