It's not really a curse. Your brain has a region which is devoted to speech/language, and that region tends to only track one thing at a time. This is why the first advice in active listening tutoring—and related fields like marriage counseling and negotiation—tell you to stop planning your responses while someone else is speaking. Similarly why when I talk with my wife about whatever conversation is happening on TV, we invariably miss some bit of that conversation.
In that light, all you are reporting is more difficulty than other folks have in tuning out the voice in the music... Different people can do this better or worse, and I'm pretty sure it can be honed if you want. Don't let it concern you too much :)
The mixes on musicforprogramming do sometimes have words but they tend to be really kind of subdued and muted, I found them reasonably effective for programming, your mileage may vary.
Still my go-to is Rainy Mood, I use it to sleep, but somehow it's also useful to program with as long as I'm not too drowsy. I have it installed as a PWA on my MacBook so that I can Cmd-Tab to it when I need to shut it down.
