The Rolling Stones - Mother's Little Helper lyrics

What a drag it is getting old

"Kids are different today,"

I hear ev`ry mother say

Mother needs something today to calm her down

And though she`s not really ill

There`s a little yellow pill

She goes running for the shelter of a mother`s little helper

And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

"Things are different today,"

I hear ev`ry mother say

Cooking fresh food for a husband`s just a drag

So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak

And goes running for the shelter of a mother`s little helper

And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day

Doctor please, some more of these

Outside the door, she took four more

What a drag it is getting old

"Men just aren`t the same today"

I hear ev`ry mother say

They just don`t appreciate that you get tired

They`re so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind

So go running for the shelter of a mother`s little helper

And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

Doctor please, some more of these

Outside the door, she took four more

What a drag it is getting old

"Life`s just much too hard today,"

I hear ev`ry mother say

The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore

And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose

No more running for the shelter of a mother`s little helper

They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day
