why can't spotify access lyrics for certain songs when other services can

[Wolfpackyeah]

when I go on to Spotify to play a song (example: Temptation by Bslick) Spotify says there are no lyrics for this song, but when I went on to Youtube and searched for the lyrics for this song, and there were multiple different videos. So why doesn't Spotify have access to the lyrics for certain songs?

Spotify's lyrics availability depends on agreements with music publishers and lyric providers. Not all songs, like Temptation by Bslick, have licensed lyrics for display on Spotify, which is why they may be missing.
