How do I export the contents of the lyrics field (USLT?) to a textfile?

So, if the song:  
**U2-Please.mp3**   
contained lyrics there should be a textfile called:  
**U2-Please.txt**  
with the lyrics inside of course, preferably in the same directory or folder. Or, how do I make sure that it goes in the same directory?

1. How do I do that for several files (2,000) at once?  
I'd really like a CSV-file with the lyrics in one field or column, but so far I havent figured out how to do that.

Alternatively, could you explain how to copy the lyrics to the comment field?  
The info in the TAg -TAG section is so limited, I couldn't make it work.

Please be explicit with your answers, cos sadly, I need a lot of handholding. Pictures (dare I ask?) would be REALLY nice.
