Yo La Tengo - I Should Have Known Better lyrics

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
