For his ex acquaintance in his heart no longer a place br Since the day that he did punch him in the face br Him he can forgive and him he can forget br And the loss of what he thought could have been a friend to him no cause for regret, br Had he been a friend in the first place him he could forgive br And even without him as an acquaintance doubtless he can live br He was a stranger to him in the first place and as a stranger to him he'll remain br And to him he'll be a stranger if ever he meet him again, br He punched him in the face without provocation though him he did not hurt at all br But to him 'tis not a pleasant memory not one he may wish to recall br Something that he was not expecting some can behave in a strange way br Even for knowing the wrong sort of an acquaintance there can be a price for to pay br The acquaintance he knew only last month he treats as a stranger today br For knowing the wrong sort of people there has to be some price to pay.
