Three words... song not long enough?

Ever get so much into a song and it's only about 1:30 after adding bridges? You know you need to add more but your creative genius shuts off on you? well anyways here's the song.... Three Words

Three words Seven letters One meaning
When Cu-pid strikes you lose all feeling
When I look in your eyes my mind goes numb
I think I finally found one

Chorus
But how come
Every time I'm about to say
Every time I'm about to say
Every time I'm about to say
It turns out the wrong way

+++++++
Bridge
+++++++

Three words they're so hard to say
Seven letters is too much for me(may)
One Meaning I now understand
All I need is a plan

Should I call her on the phone
Leave a message if she's not home
Don't know... what I should do
Just wanna be with you

Chorus
But how come
Every time I'm about to say
Every time I'm about to say
Every time I'm about to say
I love you

Outro

I let my chance slip away
Let my chance slip away... again
got an even better intro just added a line or two but wow makes it a lot better

staring deep into your eyes
Trying to improvise...................
my way into your heart


I could maybe let the "let the chance slip away" part somewhere later in the song or find another way to the second verse and push everything back... or maybe even push it into the chorus since
Every time I'm about to say... I let my chance slip away goes pretty good and that could be part of the changing chorus.
