You need to instantiate individual Lyrics contexts for each line of 
text.  Consider:

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

affinityDown = \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = 
#DOWN }

<< \new Lyrics = aboveI \with \affinityDown
   \new Lyrics = aboveII \with \affinityDown
   \new Staff \voices upper,lower
     << { \voiceOne b'8 c'' d''2. } \\
        { \voiceTwo g'4 fis' g'2 } >>
   \new Lyrics = belowI
   \new Lyrics = belowII

   \context Lyrics = aboveI \lyricsto upper { Up -- per one }
   \context Lyrics = aboveII \lyricsto upper { Up -- per two }
   \context Lyrics = belowI \lyricsto lower { Low -- er one }
   \context Lyrics = belowII \lyricsto lower { Low -- er two } >>
%%%%

\new Lyrics is used four times because we need four distinct Lyrics 
lines (two stanzas each for two voices).
