Words to "Take It Back" plus how music changes pace

This is the basic lyrics, with little notes to show where the musical tempo slows, quickens and even stops in stages. Key:
Anything outside brackets is main singer lyrics
Anything inside is the back-in singers lyrics


OH Hey
Badababado
Hey
Badababado ----------- Guitar/drums Begins in slow tempo
Hey (You say)
Badababado (Everything)
Hey (I don’t wanna hear)
Badababado (Cos everything)
Hey (You say)
Badababado (Everything) ------------ Tempo begins to increase
Hey (I don’t wanna hear)
Badababada (Cos everything)
Badababada (Everything)
Badababada (Everything)

Well I tried, (Everything) ------------- Increased tempo of guitar/drums
And you said (I don’t wanna know)
All there is to say,
Well I tried (Everything)
It’s just so hard to get out (I don’t wanna know)

You turn it around and I wanna come back,
We’ve been here before down the very same track,
And I’ve tried too hard to take it back
Take it back (Take it back)

Oh hey ----------- Returns to original slowish tempo
Badababado
Hey
Badababado
Hey (Quiet down)
Badababada (I’m not listening)
Badababada (To you, to you)

Well I tried, (Quiet down) ------------- Increased tempo of guitar/drums
And you said (I don’t wanna know)
All there is to say, (To you, to you)
Well I tried (Quiet down)
Its just soo hard to get out (To you, to you)

You turn it around and I wanna come back,
We’ve been here before down the very same track,
And I find it hard to take it back,
Take it back. (Take it back)
I’m feeling tired and I wanna cut loose,
A night on the streets leaves me nothing to lose
I’ll do all I can to take it back,
Take it back (Take it back)
Take it back (Take it back) ----------- music completely dies (just a few guitar chords)

They say (Everything x10) Repeated many times and throughout following verse
And I’ve heard you say, ------------ Kicks back in now to upbeat temp Drums/Guitar
That the road is long and winding
The terrain is soo demanding but I,
Refuse to go along
And watch the wheels turn to stone,
Leave me alone,
Never step out from my standing
And object myself demanding to change,
OH to change,
And in the small print I’m finding
That there’s no need in hiding,
With an overwhelming feeling
That where I am residing (End of “They say” section)
AND RIGHT (OH) -------------- Music cuts again, tempo drop (Few guitar chords)
Will I never learn?
Why’m I stuck in a....
Why’m in stuck in,
Find it hard to let go (Take it back)

You turn it around and I wanna come back, ------- Everything cuts back in at fast tempo
We’ve been here before down the very same track,
And I’ve tried too hard to take it back
Take it back (Take It back)
I’m feeling tired and I wanna cut loose,
A night on the streets leaves me nothing to lose
I’ll do all I can to take it back,
Take it back (Take It back)
Take it back (Take it back)
