I love Ace Frehley. Have a tattoo of him on my shoulder. But the man cannot write lyrics to save his life.
You gotta separate the men from the boys
If you hesitate, you might lose a lot of joys
So grab a hold of your girl, and give her everything you can
If you can penetrate, she'll make you feel like a man

Well, Ace Frehley wasn't the only bad lyricist in Kiss.
It must have taken Paul Stanley weeks to come up with this little gem in Mainline:
"I'm needin' some lovin' I'm hot like an oven It's so true"

And then there's Steve Miller.
"Abra, Abra Cadabra I wanna reach out and grab ya"
A kid in my high school actually chose those lyrics as his senior quote. I'm not kidding.

You know I love Alice to death, but I was listening to Dirty Diamonds last night and was struck by the deeply significant chorus in "You Make Me Wanna".....
You make me wanna woo hoo hoo! You know you make me wanna woo hoo hoo! Oh You make me wanna woo hoo hoo! Oh I think I'm gonna woo hoo hoo!

I began to question his lyric writing credibility when he wrote: "I'm a hungry man, but I don't want pizza." OK, who the f*** doesn't want pizza???

John Shirley, who wrote some lyrics for BÖC since 1998 is not the greatest at his job. He's written some good lyrics, like in Live For Me or See You in Black. But that was on his good days. I think the testament for some of his more atrocious lyrics was in The Old Gods Return with the ever so bad Wizard of Oz reference
"Now is the time that the old gods return Now is the time that water begins to burn Now is the time that the apes take wing And we recognize them from that Oz thing"
But I mean Curse of the Hidden Mirror as an album was already 83% a dumpster fire to begin with so bad lyrics are just kinda a given from it.
