Paradox.

"I need a Good Woman Bad" by Josh Turner

Why`d she wanna make me so mad
I treat that bad woman good
Lord I need a good woman bad

Now when I asked her to go to sunday school
She went and called me a damned old fool
Now I don`t understand
Why`d she wanna make me so sad
I treat that bad woman good
Lord I need a good woman bad

Here she comes
There she goes

Well I saved my money and I bought her a car
She got it stolen outside the bar
She looks good but she might not be
The kind of woman that im likley to need

Well I don`t know why I let her walk on me
She`s impolite as she can be
Now I`m startin to think
Hey maybe I`ve been had
I treat that bad woman good
Lord I need a good woman bad
I treat that bad woman good
Lord I need a good woman bad
I treat that bad woman good
Lord I need a good woman bad

This is an example of a paradox because throughout the whole song he is saying how he needs a "good woman bad." This is a paradox because he is saying he needs a good woman really bad, and good and bad are contradictory. Also, he says "I treat that bad woman good" when really he should be treating her badly because if someone is bad to you, you don't treat them good.
