Her name being on the album has nothing to do with her legal ownership (or lack thereof) of the lyrics in those songs.
Put another way, if she participated in the writing process, then she has a legal right to be credited for that. If that right was denied to her, then she has grounds for a lawsuit. Since we're not hearing about Alizée suing Mylene, it's very unlikely she had any hand in writing those songs.
