I Should Have Known Better

i got in a tussle
 with a stranger on the train
 his face was familiar
 but i couldn't place the name
 it got to be ugly
 ?
 i hope that no-one who could see
 would be someone who'd know you
 i had a small run-in
 with a driver and his wife
 you might call it road rage
 ?
 considered nothing
 i held my ground
 and now that it's over
 i've said that there must be
 a better way
 i keep it in mind
 eight times out of nine
 i'm wrong or i'm right
 it's not worth a fight
 but what's hard to define
 makes it tough to decide
 you don't realize
 until after it has begun
 whether this is the one
 i probably knew better
 i probably knew better
 consider nothing
 i held my ground
 and now that it's over
 i'll say that there must be
 a better way
 i keep it in mind
 eight times out of nine
 i'm wrong or i'm right
 it's not worth a fight
 but what's hard to abide
 it's tough to decide
 we don't realize
 until after it has begun
 whether this was the one
 i probably knew better
 i probably knew better
 i probably knew better
 i probably knew better
