[Post-Chorus: Peter Steele]
Why (Why)
Why, why don't you love me anymore?
I said why (Why)
Why, why don't you love me anymore?
[Bridge: Kenny Hickey]
Quite upset, angry, just plain annoyed
No recourse except for celluloid
In my heart, I know you are not real
Though in mind, suspect you still can feel
Walt Disney or Hanna-Barbera
Black or white, stunning Technicolor
Warner Brothers and the A. A. P
I've become addicted to TV

What did Type O Negative say about "How Could She?"?
Genius Answer

“I don’t even know where I got this idea from, to list all of these cartoon women and TV women. Finding fresh song topics can sometimes be quite difficult. I want to stay away from politics, or else I’ll probably end up putting my size fifteen foot into my mouth. I stay way from that area, and there’s only so many songs you can write about love, sex and death. I kind of covered that subject with almost every song.” – Peter Steele, 2003.
