Why does it take a large amount of energy to raise the temperature of water?

Water's hydrogen bonds require energy to break the bonds so that the molecules can move more freely. and I believe for cooling, the attractions of the hydrogen bonds that are constantly breaking and reforming (pulling each molecule in random directions constantly) makes it so that it would require a lot of energy to be lost as heat for the average kinetic energy or temperature to drop.
