Mother's Little Helper
The Rolling Stones
Letra

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 tranquilise your mind
so go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
and four help you through the night, help to minimise your plight.
Doctor,plese, 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 pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
and if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
no more running to the shelter of a mother's little helper
they just helped you on your way through your busy dying day.
