"Tricky, Tricky" is a song released by Lou Bega in 1999 from his debut album A Little Bit of Mambo. It became a modest hit in the USA and in Sweden, though was overshadowed by the smash-hit "Mambo No. 5". The lyrics tell of a woman that likes to spend a lot of money, and how the relationship between her and a man won't work.
