Why iTunes Won't Let Me Delete Songs from iPhone?

Go to the Summary tab and check "Sync only Checked Songs and Videos." Then go to the Music tab and select "Sync Music" and "Entire Music Library". Then exit the iPhone section and go to your main music list on iTunes. From there, check off only the songs you want to sync. Then sync your iPhone.

Also, on the iPhone, to delete a song, go to your Songs list and swipe left or right on a song's title. A Delete button should appear - press that. As long as the song is checked in iTunes, though, it will come back the next time you sync.
