"Words" is a song by the Bee Gees, written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. The song reached number 1 in Germany, Canada, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. "Words" was the Bee Gees third U.K. top 10 hit, reaching number 8, and in a U.K. television special on ITV in December 2011 it was voted fourth in "The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song". The song has been recorded by many other artists, including hit versions by Rita Coolidge in 1978 and Boyzone in 1996. This was Boyzone's fifth single and their first number-one hit in the U.K.

Words was recorded on 3 October 1967 along with "World" and the unreleased track "Maccleby's Secret" at the IBC Studios in London. The song featured vocals from only Barry and became his solo spot in concert for the remainder of the Bee Gees' career.

The song was also recorded by Glen Campbell on the "Wichita Lineman" album released in 1968, also recorded and performed live by Elvis Presley in 1969. It was included in the concert documentary and album ''Elvis: That's the Way It Is''. Lynn Anderson recorded the song on her album ''Stay There 'Til I Get There'', released in 1970. In 1979, country music singer Susie Allanson covered "Words" for her 1979 album ''Heart To Heart''. Allanson's version was a number eight entry on Hot Country Songs that year. In 1989, the group Tropical Panamá released a Spanish-language version (titled "Palabras") on their album ''Ana María''. In 2021, Barry Gibb and Dolly Parton recorded "Words" for Barry's 2021 album ''Greenfields''.
