One of the characters sings "Wishes may bring problems such that you regret them. Better that, though, than to never get them." Almost all of the characters, at the beginning of Act II are complaining about something, the Baker and his wife, for example, are complaining that now, with the new baby, they need more room; their bakery is no longer big enough.
When you wish for something, or want something very bad, you only think of the positives. When you actually get what you've been hoping for you may realize that it is harder or comes with more responsibilities than you initially thought. After Cinderella and the Prince got married, they both realized that being married required a lot more effort and you can't be as selfish.
Going along with the lyrics "Better that, though, than to never get them," it's good to experience life with your wishes and learn from them. If you don't have those experiences you may spend your whole life wondering what it would have been like if your wish had come true and you'll never find satisfaction in what you already have.
