The lyrics provide the structure to hang the melody on. I've done it the other way a few times, though.
Actually, I've never quite succeeded in coming up with a song by myself. I can set lyrics to music easily enough, and write poetry easily enough, and put words to music now and then, but I've never managed to juggle words and music at the same time.
