No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)

Barbra Streisand, Donna Summer

About No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)

"No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" is a 1979 song recorded as a duet by Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer. It was written by Paul Jabara and Bruce Roberts and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Gary Klein. The song was recorded for Streisand's Wet album and also as a new track for Summer's compilation double album entitled On the Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes I & II. The full-length version was found on Streisand's album, while a longer 11 minute plus version (the 12" version) was featured on Summer's album. The Summer version features additional production by frequent collaborator Harold Faltermeyer, and incorporates a harder rock edge. The single was released on both Casablanca Records (Summer's label) and Columbia Records (Streisand's label) and sales of the two were amalgamated. The versions on the two 7" singles differed slightly however, with different mixes and slightly different background vocal arrangements. The formats differed between nations—in the UK for example, the song was only released on 7" by Casablanca, and 12" (the extended version from the On The Radio album) by Columbia. Although the sales of the two labels' releases were amalgamated, both the 7" and the 12" were certified Gold by the RIAA in early 1980. The 7" single was eventually certified Platinum, signifying sales of two million US copies.

It's raining, it's pouring
My lovelife is boring me to tears
After all these years

No sunshine, no moonlight
No stardust, no sign of romance
We don't stand a chance

I always dreamed I'd find the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man I loved
I loved

Raining (raining)
Pouring (pouring)
There's nothing left for us here
And we won't waste another tear

If you've had enough
Don't put up with his stuff
Don't you do it
Now, if you've had your fill, get the check, pay the bill
You can do it
Tell him to just get out
Nothing left to talk about
Pack his raincoat, show him out
Just look him in the eye and simply shout

Enough is enough
I can't go on
I can't go on no more, no
Enough is enough
I want him out
I want him out that door now

Enough is enough (ooh, owww) 
Enough is enough
That's enough (ooh)
Yeah

If you've reached the end
Don't pretend that is right when it's over

(It's over)
If the feeling is gone don't think twice just move on, get it over
(Over, over)

Tell him to just get out
Say it clearly, spell it out

Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now

Enough is enough (ooh, owww) 
Enough is enough
That's enough (ooh)

I always dreamed I'd find the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man
I loved (i had no choice from the start)
I loved (I've got to listen to my heart)
I loved (tearing us apart)
I loved

Enough is enough (is enough)
I can't go on
I can't go on no more, no
Enough is enough (is enough)
I want him out
I want him out that door now

Enough is enough (ooh, owww) 
Enough is enough
That's enough (ooh)
Yeah

No more tears

No more tears (no more tears)
No more tears (no more tears)
No more tears (yeah)
No more yeah, yeah
Tears (no more tears)

I've had it (no more tears), enough is enough
I've had it, you've had it (no more tears)
He's had it (is enough, is enough, is enough)
(No more tears) is enough
Is enough, is enough, is enough (we've had it, he's had it)
Is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough (I've had it, enough is enough)
(No more tears) is enough
Is enough, is enough, is enough (I've had it, you've had it)
Is enough, is enough, is enough (we've had it, enough is enough)

I always dreamed I'd find the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man
I loved (i had no choice from the start)
Listen to me (I've got to listen to my heart)
Tearing us apart

Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on
I can't go on no more, no
Enough is enough (is enough)
I want him out
I want him out that door now

Goodbye mister
Goodbye, goodbye mister
Goodbye sugar

It's raining, it's pouring
There's nothing left for us here
And we won't waste another tear

(Is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough)
(Is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough, that's enough)

No more tears
Is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough
Is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough

Is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough
Is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough
