The sample I wrote above could only be salvaged by some good music to accompany it. I mean there's a lot of songs with really simple or hardly any lyrics to them but are enjoyable to listen to nonetheless. Sometimes all you remember from a song is just a phrase or two anyway.
Not trying to excuse myself ... but ...
This morning I had a song going that was something like "it's a rain game, it's a same game, it's a lame game." Not much verbally but I could hear some nice guitar bits in my head to accompany it.
IMO, I think songwriting can be anything and someone will like it. But let's face it, if you write a love song, people do tend to focus on the lyrics. So I don't think you can afford to have really dumb lyrics there.
And love songs are supposed to stimulate people, not put them to sleep. So there should probably be a relatively upbeat tempo to them.
Excuse me, I'm just thinking out loud.
