(Mick Jagger, Keith Richard) [Originally by The Rolling Stones] What a drag it is, getting old "It's so different today", I hear every mother say They just need something today, for confidence And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper And the kids are all away, it's a blue and busy day "Things are different today", I hear every mother say Couldn't crash before her husband, such a drag So she buys a [risen] cake and she burns a frozen steak And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper And the kids are all away, it's a blue and busy day Oh doctor, please, I'm [on my knees], outside the door she took for more What a drag it is, getting old When you stop and save today, I hear every mother say They just don't appreciate that you've retired They're so hard to satisfy, lookin' tranquil at your mind And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper And forgets her through the night, helps to minimize her flight Songtexte Oh doctor, please, I'm [on my knees], outside the door she took for more What a drag it is, getting old When you stop and save today, I hear every mother say That this mood of happiness is such a bore If you take some more of those, you will get an overdose You'll go running for the shelter of your mother's little helper And forget to run away Hey! Uh-oh! I fucked up there a little bit, please don't tell Mick! Alright!
