Mother's Little Helper Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 What a drag it is getting old

2 "Kids are different today," I hear every mother say

3 Mother needs something today to calm her down

4 And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill

5 She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper

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

7 "Things are different today," I hear every mother say

8 Cooking fresh food for her husband's just a drag

9 So she buys an instant cake and she burns a frozen steak

10 And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper

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

12 Doctor, please, some more of these

13 Outside the door, she took four more

14 What a drag it is getting old

15 "Men just aren't the same today," I hear every mother say

16 They just don't appreciate that you get tired

17 They're so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind

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

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

20 Doctor, please, some more of these

21 Outside the door, she took four more

22 What a drag it is getting old

23 "Life's just much too hard today," I hear every mother say

24 The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore

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

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

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

28 Hey
