Personally, I can't decide until I hear the music.
There's a lot of great songs with mediocre lyrics.
Although I'd say that when someone does quote lyrics to a song in print, it's usually because they have something profound in them, are extremely well written or have a way of using the english language that nobody's done before.
Your lyrics might be great with an amazingly recorded backing track giving the mood, but to an 80's Bon Jovi sound, it'd probably come of as being kinda corny.
