i hope i can make it more clear:

I have a question about placing and deleting music on iphone:
yesterday i connected my iphone to itunes and i wanted to copy a song on it. I don't have playlists on the phone, so i just dragged and dropped the song into the "music" icon of my iphone4, which appears on the left menu under the phone name.
i then unplugged the phone from itunes, i clicked on the "music" icon on the phone and i found the song on the phone in "songs".
Then i manually deleted the song from the phone itself. when i connected the phone to itunes again, and clicked on "music" in the left menu under the phone name, i found that it still showed that the song was on the phone. However if i attempt to double click on it and play it, it doesn't play and shows "!", so i deleted it from the the itunes.
my question is that why did the song appear on the phone when i connected it to itunes, while i had already deleted it from the phone?
also, the fact that it wouldn't play when i double clicked on it means that it is not really there, so i got confused.

i have an iphone 4 running ios 6 and i have it set on "manually manage music on iphone"
