Description
The world is full of people who live a web of lies, running through the raindrops and always landing on their feet. Title was inspired by W C Fields who near the end of his life was caught by a friend reading a bible in his hospital bed. to which he looked up and said...I'm looking for loopholes.
Lyrics
Loophole I really have to laugh Cuz I can lie so good I got the best of both halves Like a single man should I call my baby on the telephone And I complain that I’m all alone But when I hang up there’s a girl in my home And oh she makes me moan She’s my loophole She’s my midnight pal I was just looking for a loophole Got me a back door gal Even when I was a little kid Standing up for show and tell I’d tell the tallest stories And I could tell em so well And later on out on the playground All the other kids would gather around Well they would do their best to make me confess But the bell would ring to end recess And that was my loophole I had another close call I was just looking for a loophole And I won’t be back till fall Yes it’s true my lies are big but my lies are also white And if you want to figure it out you’ll have to stay up all through the night As long as I don’t hurt nobody or cause myself to lose a friend, As long as the means continues to justify the ends You can bet I will do it again ‘cuz im looking for a loophole Im just looking for a loophole Just looking for a loophole that’s right Well I told you my story And the story is my own If you think that you’re more holy You can cast the first stone They just might break my bones, You might hear them crack But all you’re really doin Is calling the kettle black ‘cuz there’s a liar inside of all of us We inherit it with birth You can call me cold and heartless And I’ll agree with you for what it’s worth And that’s my loophole That’s my liars creed I was just looking for a loophole Cuz I’m a liar indeed I was just looking for a loophole I was just looking for a loophole Words and music by Gordon Hunt Copyright 1982 Crazy Quilt Music company ASCAP
