Problem is that you have both entered the timing for the lyrics and issued an 
\addlyrics.
\addlyrics is used to automatically set the timing of the lyrics - and should 
NOT be used if you do manual lyrics timing.
Further more, you are missing < ... > around the notes and the lyrics.

Try a score block like (untested)

\score {
  <
    \context Staff \melody
    \context Lyrics \texti
  >
  \paper{}
  \midi{ tempo 4=120 }
}
