I bounced,
I changed,
My spots in vain,
I went up,
Never asking why.
We played
I fell
Under your spell,
Of boing,
And now I can't fly.
Don't you ever say,
I just bounced away,
I will be in the toy box.
I can't bounce or fly,
Not going up in the sky,
I will always bounce you.
I came in like a bouncy ball,
I can't even fly,
Just fall.
Then I crash into,
A blazing wall.
All you ever did was,
Bounce me.
You bounced me high up in the sky,
And now,
I'm too scared to come down.
I slowly turn,
I fell into an urn,
And now,
Glass is on the ground.
Don't you ever say,
I just bounced away,
I will be in the toy box,
I can't bounce or fly,
Not going up in the sky,
I will always bounce you.
UPDATE: I removed the random line. Thank you for the reveiws! Honestly I wasn't paying attention.

Disclaimer: I have not heard the original. With any luck I never will.
I looked up the original lyrics however and I must say you did a pretty good job. "All you ever did was bounce me" was probably your best converted lines because it changes the meaning so completely.
I found the line "While you're eating chicken thighs," slightly random and off-putting and I would recommend removing it if I may.
Also the original was separated into verses. I don't know why this isn't; again I would suggest it.
Other than that great job,
Take That You Fiend!
I know the lyrics by heart because it always comes on the radio. And you're right about that line, it's kinda rand!
random sorry it was a typo
I can't bounce or fly,
While you're eating chicken thighs,
I will always bounce you.
This part quite confused me. "While you're eating chicken thighs." I don't understand what chicken thighs have to do with any of this.
I came in like a bouncy ball,
This statement really entertained me. I am not to much of a fan of Miley since her whole change but I did like this.
I bounced,
I changed,
My spots in vain,
I went up,
Never asking why.
I really also liked the first sentence. Good job
I really have no idea what in the world i was writing myself, LOL
Hi
I have to say, I really recognise the wording you have here as if it were part of some sort of song I hae previously heard:
'I changed,
My spots in vain,
I went up'
This just seems really familiar, but it is also really clever. I like.
Later you change to just descriving the properties of the ball and I think ou lose your effectiveness a bit, because it no longer becomes an allegory: 'Don't you ever say,
I just bounced away,
I will be in the toy box'
This work evolves, but kind of in a backwards way.
Interesting idea though. I thought I might find this amusing and I did.
I like the part about not saying you'd just bounce away. I got your reference to "I came in like a recking ball". Ha Ha! Very funny
Thank you!
