How do I add a database of songs (title, lyrics) into Android?

Hello,

I'm creating an app that displays lyrics of songs. I originally was hard-coding the lyrics into my code, but several friends recommended that I use a database instead. It will be a static database where I will input the title and lyrics so people don't need to change it. It's only going to be a certain selection of songs (~100), so I don't want the app to require the Internet in order to run.

I heard people suggesting using SQLite database but I'm not sure how to format text as paragraphs in SQL.

If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.

Thanks!
