Ok, since the other whispering question got some answers, here's one I've been wondering about for a while...
In Slide, what's John saying at about 2:44 minutes into the song?
Is it "I want you"??

I too have asked this before and the consensus answer was,
"I won't say nothin". Which makes sense w/the whole pregnancy theme of the song.

what about "I won't say anything"
its been discussed before and from what i can remember these are the arguments for the case (lol)
- you can hear him say something that sounds like "a" before "nything" (a-nything) which sounds like "nothing"
i think it also makes more sense grammatically

Ah, but clearly you've never heard a Buffalonian speak.
"Nothing" is often switched gramatically for "anything" as is "don't it" in lieu of "doesn't it" in Buffalo. It's not a lazy thing, just a local thing.

Heeeeey, now. As a western New Yorker, I feel the need to defend all people from WNY who use proper English. Double negatives aren't just in WNY and not everyone here uses them. WNYers have a distinct accent, but 'don't it' and double negatives aren't regular. You will occasionally hear John say double negatives and sometimes he will correct himself. It is a lazy thing.
And I hear "I won't sat anything" as well...

Hey NMF - SORRY I didn't mean to offend!
I was born in NY (the city) and am a former resident of Rochester. WNY is america's best kept secret. Love it there. Don't get me wrong, in my opinion it's also where I've met some of the smartest people in my life. Amazing education system in NY. Great grounded, no nonsense people with amazing heart too. BUT! Just like people here in Pittsburgh tend to leave out the verb "to be" as in "The clothes need washed", the double negative is just a nuance of the Buffalo english. Come on, it's NOTHING compared to the Brooklyn accent and such a small part of their accent. SUCH A SMALL PART! I STILL say he's saying "I won't say nothin". I'm going on a run now. Will do some listenting research on the ol' Ipod.

Ah yes, but you have the benefit of an awesome accent! Good grammar, bad grammer, it's all cool w/an Australian twang.

I think you're right. After carefully listening again, I think this is it. Although, I don't think I would have figured it out on my own 
thanks
