Taken from the album SIDE 3.
Dave Smalley: I really loved it. "Should I Wait" is one of my favourite songs I ever wrote. I feel that song communicated very simply and very honestly saying exactly what people feel but they can't put into words.
Should I Wait
(David Smalley)
Don't you know you're gonna lose
If you love somebody that don't love you?
You'll believe him when he's untrue
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I've let it happen much too long
Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
It's me who's loved you for so long
If he hurts you with his lies
Don't let it take too long to open your eyes
You're gonna see through his disguise
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I'm tired of tryin' to play it cool
Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
The one you love is just a fool
If I had the chance I'd make you see
When you fall in love how it should be
A love that makes you sad can only turn out bad
So I'll be hangin' 'round until you're free
Don't you know you're gonna lose
If you love somebody that don't love you?
You'll believe him when he's untrue
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I've let it happen much too long
Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
It's me who's loved you for so long

A huge fan of the old Eagles and Raspberries; this is very Eagle-esque; recorded at around the same time (first LPs of each band came out in 72 if I am not mistaken.: Dave brought a nice country vibe to the "Berries and all the boys could sing and harmonize....great track.
-
A favorite non-Eric of mine!
-
Eric Carmen was the standout singer in the Raspberries in terms of range and power, but Dave Smalley's songs are among my favorite Raspberries songs. I think this one is his best, lyrically and melodically.

@Irm6001 My aunt and cousins live in Mentor! Best Beatle copy bands I've ever seen are there...
-
@Lisarata Good Catch! Just like 'I Don't Know What I Want (But I Want it Now) sounds like Alice Cooper, Nobody Knows is McCarntney et al. They were the best, the Raspberries!
-
They were so diversified. Love the song,,,
-
Dave Smalley's best Raspberries song.
-
I think this guy Dave Smalley was quite a dish. I like this song a lot. It sounds like an Eagles song recorded as a wall of sound.
-
Ive truly listened to this more than 20 times in a row. Actually Ive done that on several occasions.
Absolutely gorgeous!
