  Hi Sherry, While we do give you tracking/statistics tracking at My Stats, if you need deeper analysis, you may have to transfer to a self-hosted site. As you mentioned, while WordPress.com analytics can be used on your blog, Google Analytics cannot.

  Here are all the services provided with WordPress.com site stats:

  Jetpack Stats

  And here is a link that shows the difference between hosting your site here at WordPress.com, and running a self-hosted site via WordPress.org:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Please let me know if you have questions!
