Mothers Little Helper Lyrics By The Rolling Stones

    what a drag it is getting old

    kids are different today i hear every mother say
    mother needs something today to calm her down
    and though she’s not really ill there’s a little yellow pill

    refrain
    she goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper
    and it helps her on her way gets her through her busy day

    things are different today i hear every mother say
    cooking fresh food for a husband’s just a drag
    so she buys an instant cake and she burns a frozen steak

    refrain
    and goes running for the shelter of her 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 every mother say
    they just don’t appreciate that you get tired
    they’re so hard to satisfy you can tranquilize your mind

    refrain
    so go running for the shelter of your 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

    4
    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

    refrain
    no more running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper
    they just helped you on your way through your busy dying day
