MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER

(Jagger/Richards)

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 helps 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 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 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

STUPID GIRL

(Jagger/Richards)

I'm not talkin' about the kind of clothes she wears
Look at that stupid girl
I'm not talkin' about the way she combs her hair
Look at that stupid girl
The way she powders her nose
Her vanity shows and it shows
She's the worst thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl

I'm not talkin' about the way she digs for gold
Look at that stupid girl
Well, I'm a-talkin' about the way she grabs and holds
Look at that stupid girl
The way she talks about someone else
That she don't even know herself
She's the sickest thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl

Well, I'm sick and tired and I really have my doubts
I've tried and tried but it never really works out

Like a lady-in-waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches about things that she's never seen
Look at that stupid girl
It doesn't matter if she dyes her hair
Or the colors of the shoes she wears
She's the worst thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl

Like a lady-in-waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches about things that she's never seen
Look at that stupid girl
She purrs like a pussycat
Then she turns around and hisses back
She's the sickest thing in this world
Look at that stupid girl

LADY JANE

(Jagger/Richards)

My sweet lady Jane, when I see you again
Your servant am I, and will humbly remain
Just heed this plea, my love. On bended knees my love
I pledge myself to lady Jane

My dear lady Anne, I've done what I can
I must take my leave, for promised I am
The play is run, my love. Your time has come my love
I pledge my soul to lady Jane

Oh, my sweet Marie, I wait at your ease
The sands have run out, for your lady and me
When love is nigh, my love, her station's right my love
Life is secure with lady Jane

UNDER MY THUMB

(Jagger/Richards)

Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around

It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb

Ain't it the truth babe?

Under my thumb
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways

It's down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright

Under my thumb
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world

It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah

It's down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright

Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I
I can still look at someone else

It's down to me, oh that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Say, it's alright

Say it's all...
Say it's all...

Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe

DONCHA BOTHER ME

(Jagger/Richards)

I said "Oh no, doncha follow me no more"
I said "Oh no, doncha follow me no more"
Well I'm looking for my face
and I got no place to go

I said "Oh no, doncha follow me no more"
I said "Oh no, doncha follow me no more"
Well, pick your own mind
and don't you touch mine no more

Still waiting here for a single idea
In your clothes and your hair
I wore it last year
Oh no, doncha follow me no more

I said "Oh no, doncha copy me no more"
I said "Oh no, doncha copy me no more"
Well, the lines around my eyes
are protected by a copyright law

Well, all the clubs and the bars
and the little red cars
Not knowing why, but trying to get high
Oh no, doncha follow me no more

Doncha follow
Doncha follow

GOING HOME

(Jagger/Richards)

Spendin' too much time away
I can't stand another day
Maybe you think I've seen the world
But I'd rather see my girl

I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,
Home, bome, bome, bome, back home
Yes, I am

All those letters ev'ry day
Maybe alright in their way
But I'd love to see your face
When I get home in their place

I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,
Home, bome, bome, bome, back home

I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,
Home, bome, bome, bome, back home
Yes, I will

When you're three thousand miles away
I just never sleep the same
If I packed my things right now
I could be home in seven hours

I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,
Home, bome, bome, bome, back home

Yes, I will
Yes, I will

In the middle of the night
So good ti-ti-tight

Feel allright, come on baby

Now it won't be long, I say
Listen to me

Long time since I've seen my baby
Yes it is
It's such a long long time
Yes it is, I feel allright
I'm gonna see my baby, one more time
I get home, I gotta get home

I wanna make sweet sweet love
In the middle of the night
Early in the morning
In the midnight hour
She'll make me feel so good
She'll make me feel allright

When she touch my hands
And that's all I gotta say
Cause I'm gonna pack my bags
I wanna see you baby
See your face
Your pretty little smile
Your pretty clothes
Hear you talk
Come on

I'm comin' home
I'll see my baby
I'm goin' home

To see your face
Makin' love to you baby
Yes it makes me feel so good
Inside

Touch me one more time
Come on little girl
You may look sweet
But I know you ain't
I know you ain't

FLIGHT 505

(Jagger/Richards)

Well, I was happy here at home
I got everything I need
Happy bein' on my own
just living the life I lead

Well, suddenly it dawned on me
that this was not my life
So I just phoned the airline girl
and said "Get me on flight number 505,
get me on flight number 505"

Well, I confirmed my reservation
Then I hopped a cab
No idea of my destination
and feeling pretty bad

With my suitcase in my hand
In my head, my new life
So then I told the airline girl
"Well, get me on flight number 505,
get me on flight number 505"
Alright

Well, I sat right there in my seat
Well, feeling like a king
With the whole world right at my feet
"Of course I'll have a drink"

Well, suddenly I saw
that we never ever would arrive
He put the plane down in the sea
The end of flight number 505
The end of flight number 505
Alright

Whew, they put the plane down in the sea
The end of flight number 505
The end of flight number 505

HIGH AND DRY

(Jagger/Richards)

High and dry well, I'm up here with no warning
High and dry well, I couldn't get a word in
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry

A minute I was up there standing by her side
The next I was down there, well, left out of the ride and;
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry

Anythin' I wished for I only had to ask her (yep)
I think she found out it was money I was after
High and dry oh, what a weird letdown
She left me standing here just high and dry
Alright

It's lucky that I didn't have any love towards her
Next time I'll make sure that the girl'll be much poorer
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry

High and dry well, I'm up here with no warnin'
Yep
High and dry well, I couldn't get a word in
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standin' here just high and dry
Well, she left me standin' here just high and dry
Well, she left me standin' here just high and dry

OUT OF TIME

(Jagger/Richards)

You don't know what's going on, you've been gone for far too long
you can't come back and think you are still mine

You're out of touch, my baby, my poor discarded baby
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're left out of there without a doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

A girl who wants to run away, discovers that she's had her day
It's no good thinking that you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby, my poor unfaithful baby
I said baby...

You thought you were a clever girl giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line
You're obsolete, my baby, my poor oldfashioned baby
I said baby...

IT'S NOT EASY

(Jagger/Richards)

It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy living on your own

All of the things that you used to do
If they're done now, well they're done by you
It seems a big failing in a man
To take his girl for granted if he can

And it's hard thing (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own

There's no place where you can call home
Got me running like a cat in a thunderstorm
Just a big bed and a telephone
Like the last remnants of a stately home

And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
Well, it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own

And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy living on your own

Sit here thinking with your head of fire
Go think the same thing and never tire
Imaginin' the glow of her long clean hair
As she goes to sit on her own high chair

And it's hard thing (it's not easy)
Well, it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
Well, it's hard babe (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own

It's not easy (a pretty tough thing)
It's not easy (well, life pretty rough)
It's not easy (it's a hard time baby)
It's not easy (it's a hard time baby)
It's not easy (it's a pretty hard life)

I AM WAITING

(Jagger/Richards)

I am waiting, I am waiting (oh yeah, oh yeah)
I am waiting, I am waiting (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere

You can't hold out, you can't hold out
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You can't hold out, you can't hold out
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere

See it come along and
don't know where it's from
Oh, yes you will find out

Well, it happens all the time
It's censored from our minds
You'll find out

Slow or fast, slow or fast
Oh yeah, oh yeah
End at last, end at last
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere

Stand up coming years
and escalation fears
Oh, yes we will find out

Well, like a withered stone
Fears will pierce your bones
You'll find out

Oh we're waiting, oh we're waiting
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh we're waiting, oh we're waiting
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere

Oh we're waiting, oh we're waiting
Oh we're waiting, oh were waiting...

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

(Jagger/Richards)

You can turn off and on more times
than a flashin' neon sign.
When you want you're bad
but you can be so kind

Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friend
just what you're gonna do now
You take it or leave it, it's just my life

There've been times when you tried
makin' eyes at all my so called friends
Then you go, now you're back
but you can be so kind

Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friend
just what you're gonna do now
You take it or leave it, it's just my life

Oh, la la la ta ta ta ta la la la la
Oh, la la la ta ta ta ta la la
Oh, la la la ta ta ta ta la la la la
Oh, la la la ta ta ta ta la la

I'm sick and tired of the smile that you give
when you don't come home at night
You said you'd call, that's a lie
but you could be so kind

Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friend
just what you're gonna do now
You take it or leave it, it's just my life

Oh, la la la ta ta ta ta la la la la
Oh, la la la ta ta ta ta la la

THINK

(Jagger/Richards)

I'm givin' you a piece of my mind
There no charge of any kind
Try a very simple test
You should just retrace your steps

And think back, back a little bit baby
Back, back alright
Think, think, think back baby
Think, think back a bit girl
Think, think, think back baby
Tell me who's fault was that, babe?
Tell me who's fault was that, babe?

Think about a year ago
How we lived I'll never know
Connin' people for a dime
Here's another piece of my mind

And think back, back a little bit baby
Back, back alright
Think, think, think back baby
Think, think back a bit girl
Think, think, think back baby
Tell me who's fault was that, babe?
Tell me who's fault was that, babe?

Take a look inside yourself
You're not really someone else
Still, I am the same old me
You say I lack maturity

But think back, back a little bit baby
Back, back, alright!

We're not children anymore
We don't need to play with toys
Take a look and you will finD
you're gettin' old before your time

But think back, back a little bit baby
Back, back alright
Think, think, think back baby
Think, think I said back a bit girl
Think, think, think back baby
Tell me who's fault was that, babe?
Tell me who's fault was that, babe?

I said think
You'd better think back a little bit
I said think
What about last year and the year before?
I said think
You promised me so much
I said think
Doncha 'member what you said?
