The specific problem is that this code:
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<p/>
outputs the text of your <song> element, followed by an empty paragraph.
If you want the text _inside_ the paragraph, do:
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</p>
However, this won't get you a lot further: the basic markup of each song
is a bit on the light side. If you had e.g.:
<verse>
<l>I'm not a perfect person</l>
<l>As many things I wish I didn't do</l>
...
</verse>
<verse>
<l>I've found a reason for me</l>
...
it would be possible to make much better use of the information, and
specifically it would make it easy to format it nicely using XSLT.
