Why won't chatgpt show me the lyrics of a song?

Wanted the words to a popular song for a karaoke night and it refused, said something about policy. It will happily summarise what the song is about though. Is this a copyright thing?

Apple Music and Spotify both show the lyrics in sync while it plays, tap the lyrics button on the now playing screen. Google also shows full lyrics for a lot of songs if you search the title plus lyrics.

copyright. lyrics are licensed, so it won't print a full song. it'll still tell you what a song is about or help you work out a song from a line you remember, but for the actual words you need a lyrics site or the lyrics view in your music app.
