"Words" is a song written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart and released by the Monkees. An early version by the Leaves appeared on their 1966 album Hey Joe.[1] The Monkees first recorded the song for their second album, More of The Monkees, in August 1966 under the supervision of Boyce and Hart. While this version went unreleased until the 1990 compilation Missing Links Volume Two, it was featured in the 10 April 1967 episode of The Monkees "Monkees, Manhattan Style". A new version of the song was made to be the B-side of "Pleasant Valley Sunday" in 1967, now produced by Chip Douglas.[2]

Micky Dolenz shared lead vocals with Peter Tork on both versions of the song.[2][3] The B-side peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the highest-charting single with Tork's lead.[4]

The single version was included on the album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., while the first version was later put on the 1990 compilation album Missing Links Volume Two.
