Mother's Little Helper - The Rolling Stones

«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

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 every 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 every 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 every 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
