kfatso -what floor has a roof?

Artist: Lou Rawls Lyrics
Song: You'll Never Find Lyrics

You'll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
You'll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do

Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby
But I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else, no-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh one else

You'll never find, it'll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you like I do
You'll never find the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared, just us two

Whoa, I'm not tryin' to make you stay, baby
But I know some how, some day, some way
You are (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it's cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

You'll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
You'll never see what you've found in me
You'll keep searching and searching your whole life through
Whoa, I don't wish you no bad luck, baby
But there's no ifs and buts or maybes

You're gonna, You're gonna miss (miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know you're gonna my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it gets real cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know, I know that you are gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Let me tell you that you're gonna miss my lovin'
Yes you will, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When I'm long gon
I know, I know, I know that you are gonna miss

Childhaven Longitudinal Research Study


Between 1980 and 1982 Childhaven conducted a research project to study the effectiveness of Therapeutic Child Care. A group of 60 children, who were under 2 years of age and had open Child Protective Services cases, were randomly assigned to a treatment or a control (non-treatment) group: half the children participated for 18 months in Childhaven's program (treatment group) and the other half received the existing social services available to CPS clients at that time (control group); e.g. regular child care, parenting classes, anger management, etc. The immediate research findings found that parents from the Childhaven program, when compared to the parents in the non-Childhaven group, were more positive, less abusive and sought more community help. Additionally, many of the children who received treatment at Childhaven changed dramatically during their 16-24 months of treatment - the withdrawn became outgoing, the agitated became calmer, and the angry became more peaceful.





Twelve years later, researchers revisited the children involved in the original research study. These children, now teenagers, were six times less likely to have committed a violent juvenile crime; they were better adjusted in school and less of a problem for the teachers. In addition, examination of their financial welfare records found that the Childhaven treatment group received half as much money in welfare cash grants, medical coupons and food stamps than the comparison group. The complete results of this study were published in the February 1998 volume of the journal Child Maltreatment. To request a copy please email robinb@childhaven.org.
