Really? The following example shows the difference you can
obtain:

\version "2.10.0"

% Default layout:
\score{
<<
\new Staff \new Voice = m \relative c'{ c4 d e f g f e d c1 }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto m {aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa }
>>
}

% Reducing the minimum space below the Staff and above the Lyrics:
\score{
<<
\new Staff \with {\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-1 
. 4)}
 \new Voice = m \relative c'{ c4 d e f g f e d c1 }
\new Lyrics \with {\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = 
#'(-1.2 . 1)}
\lyricsto m {aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa }
>>
}
