I didn't know it wasn't on an album – that's strange how it used to work in those days.

Barry had been arguing with someone, I had been arguing with someone, and happened to be in the same mood. [The arguments were] about absolutely nothing. They were just words. That is what the song is all about; words can make you happy or words can make you sad.</blockquote><blockquote>— Robin Gibb<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_(Bee_Gees_song)#cite_note-work-3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">[3]</a></blockquote>Barry Gibb said in 1996 on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VH1_Storytellers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">VH1 Storytellers</a> television show that it was written for their manager, Robert Stigwood. <img src="https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.74771a33b7a80a46de5f7d493a07dc31?rik=ZlYWjE%2fMLiKIEQ&pid=ImgRaw&r=0" alt="Words - BEE GEES Karaoke HD - YouTube"> <img src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1200x675/p02ch2hm.jpg" alt="BBC Radio 2 - Radio 2 In Concert, The Bee Gees, Bee Gees in Concert (2001)">
