Boiling point of H2O >HF > NH3

How do you explain the boiling point of H2O > HF > NH3 ?
We know that their boiling point is very high due to the hydrogen bond but considering the electronegativity of O, N, F. Florine is more electronegativity than oxygen and yet the boiling point of H2O is higher than HF, why??
