I try to never use written lyrics from a laptop, tablet, phone, postcard...whatever.

That's because, if you are doing a tune, you need to put your stamp on it. If you're scrambling for the chords and words, you have little time to own the material.

Another thing: I have a stack of cards in my case; some 20 years old. they each have changes and lyrics for a song I intended to learn, but, because I have the "crutch" available, I never really learned the tune.

Interpretation is everything.
