Lyrics The Rolling Stones – Mother’s Little Helper
Text:
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
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 a 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 could tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper
And for help you through the night
Help to minimize your plight
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
«Life’s just much too hard today»
I hear ev’ry mother say
The pursuit 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
Hey!
