what What type of switch will allow two lights to operate individually or all at once?

I have two sets of LED lights and I'm looking for a single switch that will allow for the following options:

  1. OFF
  2. LED set 1 ON
  3. LED sets 1 and 2 ON (both on)

I don't have extensive training in electrical or circuits, but I am pretty handy and for the life of me can't figure out a way to wire the above scenario. Everything I think of will seemingly turn on both sets no matter what. I can't figure out how to isolate one LED set on the same switch as powering both. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
