The behavior described by Werner has a much greater effect if the lyrics
are scaled as in the example below.

\version "2.7.25"

\score{
<<
        \context Voice = "sing" {
                c''2 c''
        }
        
        \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sing" \lyricmode { 
                \override LyricText #'font-size = #5
                x- -- -x }

\layout {
        raggedright = ##t
}
}
